We recently bought a new dell computer that came with windows media center. We have it hooked up to the tv along with an xbox 360, cable box, hd, stereo and a dvd/vcr player - and a Tivo.
I have the capability to record on the computer but I just don't trust it. It's consistantsy varies. Although I think my husband finally worked the bugs out I just can't let go of Tivo. It's ability to record so many things that I don't have to remember to tell it to do - and although I think I can do it with media center in a similar way - I just love Tivo so much I must continue to pay them - I guess. Now that I type it out it seems a bit hard to justify.
I do know that the quality of recording is better on the tivo on our big screen tv - but that might just be a recording setting on the computer.
