Short answer: Linux based "smart" personal video recorder. Records TV
to the hard disk, in one of 4 quality settings. Uses a modem to connect
back to Tivo for programming information.
It's "smart" because you can say things like "record all Simpsons
episodes" and it works out the times & channel itself.
I don't think it's officially on sale here, since it doesn't have a native
PAL module. Tridge has managed to get it working with PAL for those that
want to import one and hack around with the interals.
