Yes indeedy - you've found the TiVo!
It's a Linux-based VCR-like appliance that downloads programmes, records
your viewing habits, and automagically 'collects' shows based on its metric,
and your recommendations.
Really, it's just another way to make you look like an idiot in front of
your friends when they come over. As soon as it starts regularly recording
'The Beverly Hillbillies', your reputation will never be the same.
[ If you can get past the promo-pages, it's pretty interesting tech from a
human point of view... You may want to read the various articles about in on
Slashdot too. I'd wager that Rob Malda's TiVo records "Baywatch", "How
Things Work" and "Anime For Yanks Who Should Be Working". ;) ]
