There's free or cheap alternatives that are much better and no

Got a link?

I'd like to see that myself. My TiVo hardware was free, but I pay $5 a
month for the service.

I'm so happy with TiVO, if there's something better and free, I think
I'll crap myself. G

Let's hear it!
It's not better and it's not completely free but I think what they are
referring to is MythTV. It's a Linux based DVr program. The upside is
that you don't have to pay a monthly service fee for the program data.
The downside is you need to buy a PC with the proper capture cards and
hook it up to your TV.
Since you say your paying 5.00 a month for the TIVO, I'm going to guess
that you have DirectTV. The Myth solution will not work for you as it
won't control your satellite's receiver.
