Unfortunately TiVo's new UI logic doesn't fit with this so I think the likelihood of getting this is nill. Saying that I think TiVo's UI is more functional (and uglier).

On a related note:

HP Brings TiVo Integration to Windows Home Server

HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVoŽ allows users to perform similar tasks with TiVo that Microsoft enabled in Windows Media Center following the release of Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 (which I find essential on a daily basis), including:
  • transferring shows from TiVo to a HP MediaSmart Server and back to TiVo
  • viewing TiVo recordings stored on a HP MediaSmart Server
  • watching TiVo recordings that are stored on the HP MediaSmart Server on any PC in the home using Windows Media Player

Please let the full TiVo functionality come with the V++ box, my MediaSmart really wants to get it on with my cable box.
