Some people are working on a hack the would allow you to offload the video to your PC. But right now the format TIVO uses is encrypted.....

Hmmn I'm thinking about getting one of these, since I'm not all that interested in a hack (which may not work with Tivo version 2.0) and no monthly fees it seems the ReplayTV is the choice for me. If only Mercata still had free shipping, thankfully I have about $450.46 in Mercata dollars available to use (referrals work wonders).

What does the TiVo do better than RePlay other than 1) $200 cheaper initially and 2) Can be hacked?

Holycrap - Thanks for your note about being able to program your replay over the web! This would be totally awesome since I hate taking the time to program my VCR, if I could program it from work over the web that would really make it worth it. I wonder how the replay unit would receive the signal though? Through the phone line?

Scyber - Thanks for that thread, now I'm gonna hop over there and hopefully decide which is better for me.
