According to their press release, this project highlights 'the way misguided laws and lawsuits can pollute the environment for technological innovation.'

    Well, some of us bought Tivo because we wanted dual tuners and integration with DirecTV. We laugh at people who have to pick High, Medium, or Low (oops, excuse me, "Extended") quality recordings instead of having a unit that just records the original digital data stream from the satellite so that recording suffer no quality loss at all.
