Does anyone use TiVo here?  I was thinking about getting it, and I just wanna see everyone's opinions of it.

Tivo is an mpeg encoder and a hard drive with a modem which dials them to get programme listings.  Nice bit of kit, main downside being you have to pay a monthly subscription for the programme information once you have one.   Also sometimes it will record programmes they recommend for you, which is a bit duff IMHO.

Loads of peeps have messed about with them... running linux, increasing hard drive sizes etc.
