Been wanting a TIVO but just haven taken the step. Take that old PC out of the garage, add a $45 video capture card and you have your own TIVO that has twice the features. You can edit out commercials and permanently save your favorite shows to CD or DVD. A feature you don't find in the TIVO's sold by Time Warner, Direct or Dish network. $45 card with a remote: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=26375&CatId=1427 If your a Linux user this FREE software & a DVB card doubles the features. (it also has a DIY for building a unit) http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/
