Hi all,
I am in the process of setting up a plasma tv with 5.1 surround sound. As part of this setup I would like the ability to record cable (as in a Tivo).
Eventually I am going to put together a HTPC which will do all of my DVR tasks, however, I am not there yet and I want the ability to easily record programs now.
I do not think it makes sense to invest in a Tivo when I can subscribe to Cablevision for their service without making a hardware investment.
My first question is: am I doing the logically correct thing?
Secong question: Since the cable company limits the storage space, could I easily archive shows to DVD? If so, how would I do this?
Thanks,
Pete R.
