Dang, and it's Movie Night at the inn. We're showing "Airport",
flying the Kiwi, and doing some hangar flying...

Someone's gotta tape it for me!

You mean to tell me you don't have a Tevo DVR?
It's time to join the 21st century. :-)

You mean you still use TiVo?? You are so last century. There's free
or cheap alternatives that are much better and no monthly fees.

this nickname and he tells me it's because he's silent but deadly.

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!

OK, right, maybe not "much" better. Some assembly required. But you
do get your privacy. The only reason Tivo sends your requests back to
HQ is to peddle the info to marketeers. Oh, right, they consolidate
it first. For now.

Nobody who has ever used both a TiVo and the free or cheap alternatives
would say that they're "much better". The user interface for MythTV and
your average cable company DVR sucks donkey dongs compared to TiVo. And
a TiVo box is extremely cheap compared to a decent PC to run MythTV on,
which has to be balanced against the $7/month cost of the TiVo service.
