Build one in your computer… sooooo much more flexible. See other threads for details… i am impressed with mine.

You mean a windows media center? What specs does your “home made” tivo have?

Also has support for IR Infrared thingys so that it can still change the channel if you have a satelite/cable box. 😊

Oh and these PCI tuner cards should give you nice quality TV.

SageTV 2.0

SageTV 2.0 has support for mulitple capture cards. It also has support for the USB-UIRT, for controlling cable/sattelite boxes. You can control quality of the recording, and it has a fully functioning TV Guide that updates every 24 hours with two weeks worth of data. Lots of features, check it out at http://www.sage.tv

That is truly insane. I might save up for making one of these babes for my room. :love:

That does look awesome but it says you can fast-forward live tv.  How would you do that 😛

That thing could control the universe if that were true!

Haha, it meant that a show you are currently recording, you can pause and rewind, then fast foward back to live if you want. I think its great that you are able to shift through an mpeg file that is currently being written without breaking anything. Thats like reading a book as someone else is writing in it!

Yeah that’s what I thought it just sounded wrong the way they worded it. 

That would be one hell of a Tivo if it could see into the future 8)

I’d bet on football games and stuff. Just fast forward to the end… hahaha!

Then bet on it :D
