EXACTLY my reason for an OpenPVR. It is totally questionable whether one can be built that rivals Tivo in both performance and cost. What I want is the flexibility to do with the recording what I please. I might want to view the recording on the computer in the bedroom rather than watch it on the TV in living room. Maybe I want to burn it to a CD, or even take it out with me on a portable viewer of some sorts. b. -- Brian J. Murrell |
