I love my CableCard system, eventhough its only unidirectional; the OnScreenTVGuide is great. Yes, I can't record to a DVR from it, but I haven't researched lately. Has anything changed in the HDTV tech world yet that would allow a DVR to record from some sets with CableCard? The reason I ask...

I don't own a TIVO, so I can't say this for sure, but looking at everything that it offers it looks like a blatent ripoff. The ripoff part is not the device itself, but having to pay a monthly fee. The concept behind TIVO (recording TV) can easily be handled by a custom built computer system...
