[mythtv-users] Tivo as backend

[Griffon --]

Well, personally I would love to have my HD Tivo integrate with Myth.
That would give me 2 HD OTA and 2 HD Sat tuners able to do direct hard
drive writes. If the TV recordings showed up directly in my MythTv
with maybe little Tivo icons on them or something then the wife could
hit everything in one place and never have to switch the TV input :).
Personally I could a lot cool things with this idea at least as far as
D*TV goes. I would hack my HD Tivo in a second if I thought I could
have slick integration and truly centralize all my music vids and TV
from one UI. One of the most frustrating things aboute D*TV is they
make it point to keep any type of nice Tivo feature of upate as far
away from their customers as possible (control freaks I guess).
