It doesnt look cheap,BUT THEN AGAIN IT WOULD BE WORTH IT! (If you didnt have a VCR that is (The cable company couldnt force you to watch spam ads,etc))

....and you end up with something i'd be very reluctant to actually call a Tivo !

If you want a Tivo then buy one or, if you really are desperate for a project then make a proper one. Most of the Tivo code was open source anyway so, if you construct the hardware correctly, its not too difficult to build a box with the look/feel of a real Tivo unit.

I agree..... Anything is better than one FROM THE CABLE COMPANY where they can invade and remove stuff they dont like you having!

www.mythtv.com is another good one!
