Meaning you want access to a 190 hour box, right?

Here here! What's the Unix one I always hear about?

I'm using Snapstream as my DVR. In addition to basic TIVO like functions I have remote access. From any high speed internet connection (ie work ) I can login to it, setup new recordings, watch existing recordings or even watch live TV. Try that with your tivo. Plus it has the 30-second skip and auto-commercial marking plus it's easy to burn a DVD of a show. Of course you need to have a beefy PC to run it on so cost can be a factor....

That was my original concern about 4 years ago when I first bought Tivo. Plus, the technology (mainly, remote control system) wasn't mature enough back then anyway. Even with spending twice the money back then, I wouldn't get what Tivo already had. But it's looking better all the time. That's probably the way I'll go after I wear this unit out.
