Current Crop Of HDTV Recorders Compared

Posted by timothy on from the always-three-steps-behind dept.

rbrander links to this "nice review of all the HDTV Recorders from the Washington Post: DirecTV's based on the TiVo wins for best interface, but Dish Network's gets a few nods. There's also a nice swipe ('...spectacularly stupid decision') at JVC's for allowing only (copy-protected) Firewire input to the one HDTV tape recorder on the market."

    Congratulations. You have just convinced me to roll my own PVR instead of buying a TiVo. I had forgotten that it contacts the mothership for listings and may upload my viewing choices. While I don't think they're selling that information yet, I have no reason to trust that they won't ever sell that information.

    Could somebody point me to a homebrew PVR tutorial?
