[ale] OT: TIVO Units for Sale

[Mike Panetta]

There is not a truly easy way to digitally extract video from
the TiVo units.  This is doubly true if you have a DirecTiVo
where the video is encrypted on the disk.  There are hacks
out there that will let you do it, but its not simple.

If you wait awhile, TiVo is coming out with a DVR that has
a DVD recorder built in.  I am not sure how much it will cost
or when exactly it will come out, except I believe its supposed
to be out before the end of 2004.

Is there an easy way to extract video from the TiVO so I can burn on
DVD?  I have a portable player and it would be nice to take shows I want
to see on an airplane during travel.
