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.

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.

Plus DirecTivo is the only interface I'm aware of that supports two
tuners. These old fashion guys with their Media Center or other "free"
DVR system actually have to change what they are watching when the DVR
wants to record something. Man, I'm happy I don't live in the dark
ages.
