It's got pretty thorough coverage of PC-based hardware with the conclusion "the TiVo outshines the PC-based systems by being easier to use and by offering more built-in intelligence." Conspicuously absent are El Gato's EyeTV for the mac and SnapStream's Personal Video Station... Anyways, the real question is whether PC PVR will *ever* get there. No one does it quite right yet..."

The fact that you even attempted to log in as "dummy" makes me think you need serious psychatric help.
One a related note, I'm starting a new blog - Slashdot for Dummies.
