Back on my personal soapbox. Buy a TIVO!. Ok they are a bit long in the tooth age wise, but still function perfectly.

Upgraded mine to have ethernet card, web server, ftp server. I can login from anywhere and program it. I can also simply d/l recorded stuff to the pc with no problems.

Now if VM were to take the V+ box and reload it with Tivo s/w......

did I mention that in the S1 units available in the uk you can shove in a terabyte of storage space :-)
