I know I at least have to have special software to do this and if so what would you recommend and is there a way this can be done through a usb/video audio cable via the HD. I am missing something somewhere... All I want to do is have my dvd collection stored in the HD and have the option of playing back any movie and still have the same picture and sound quality as if I were viewing the original disc. This is an awesome site and I'm gald I got to registered last nite. Thanks for your time and any input would be greatly appreciated.

Tivo has not traditionally made money on the hardware - the bulk of the profit (such as it is) has been from the service. This would seem, in principle to be good for Tivo and good for those of us who like and are used to the Tivo interface. [quote] TiVo has just announced an agreement with multimedia software provider Nero AG that will bring its familiar interface and feature set to the PC. According to the joint announcement made today, Nero will embed the TiVo experience in its next generation of software, allowing the millions of us who rely on USB dongles for our TV to finally join the exclusive realm of Series1, 2, and 3 owners. Plus, as Zatz Not Funny! points out , Nero's international presence should help spread TiVo to the far corners of the Earth like some digital Happy Meal. Hopefully this new PC timeshifting solution -- release window: unknown -- will also convince other purveyors of home theater-only hardware-based services to finally bring their wares to the desktop.

We sell Linux media centers running the MythTV media suite ready to go right out of the box. Myth TV is a great piece of software (especially because of the lack of subscription fees) and can do more than a standard TiVo. If you have a minute please check us out at www.monolithmc.com and see for yourself. Also any feedback would be great. Thanks again. Matt.

I would like to use a Linux system to serve my mp3s instead. Does anyone know if there are any applications available to run a Tivo home media server on Linux?

If this comes to pass, this could be good news for Mac owners. SageTV is already available for Windows and Linux. In addition, if they also port the SageTV Placeshifter , then those Mac folks wanting to build their own DVR with 'slinging' capability will be in luck.

As an owner of Replay TV products for the last 7 years, I'll be watching this with great hopes that they can pull through. Still, I'll miss the ability to pick up dedicated Replay TV DVR.

I know nothing about Linux, so I need step by step instructions for installing TYSERVER or is it installed already. Most of the information I have found is one part here, the other part here etc. I mean I know nothing about installing scripts on a Linux machine. I have a good knowledge of telnet and networking.

My question: is it possible to replace the hard drive with a larger one? How complex is the procedure? Thanks.
