The only problem with a TiVo is that you have to pay the subscription fee IIRC, I think you can get a 'lifetime' subscription, but the 'lifetime' is only for the use of that one device, it's non-transferable. So, if you upgrade to a new TiVo down the road, you either have to pay the lifetime fee again or pay monthly.
Of course I could be talking out of my ass...I'm attempting to write this from memory...
Theres a new series of TiVo's with a built in DVD burner, so that you can burn DVD's of the stuff on your TiVo's hard disc. The only problem is that you can't remove the commercials, and then burn the disc. The few people I know that have them love them though as it allows them to watch their favorite tv shows on their own schedule as opposed to the network's schedules.

I forgot about this post. I did get a Tivo, love the thing too. You cant record two shows at once though but you can watch what is recorded and record at the same time. The fee is about 11/month and you can hook it into your home network and play mp3's and other video files stored on your computer. Also it does have a 30min buffer so you can pause rewind or fast forward shows that your watching, great if you miss something or if your cooking at the same time. It also has an info button so you can see what show is on also a guide that you can search for shows. I've got it hooked through my home theatre so I can record on tivo, record on my vcr, and watch a dvd or tv show at the same time. Definitely worth the price, mine cost 199 on sale.
