Software TiVo. That would be pretty sweet.
I don't know of a software product that does this now...but TiVo does run linux, so if you could grab one of its drives, mount it, and find the binaries....hmmm....
And, of course, there's no hardware in a TiVo that's not in your everyday desktop system, right? Besides, while TiVo's software is pretty good (I own one and like it), it's not worth much without the subscription that provides the scheduling content that drives all the recording automation. Besides, there's existing television and video software and hardware for commodity Linux boxes that approximates TiVo. As far as I know, it's somewhat at the whim of existing public sources of scheduling information, but it's free and open-source. Check around. Randall Schulz
