Another way to integrate PVR and Linux is to use a RedRat Remote to drive an external PVR. I do this with my ReplayTV and am very happy with the result, see Xr3 on my web site.

I use a modified version of Gatos(ATI AIWpro) and wrote a floating remote GUI for it, see the atitvRemote link.
Actually they license to Panasonic and they also partner with AT&T. They just decided to stop being a hardware producer, probably because there is not much money in it. The service continues to improve(MyReplayTV.com) and bug fixes still are rolling out so it looks like TiVo will still have "some" competition.
Looks like Sony and MicroSoft are upto something as well.
First web monitoring, then email sniffing now you can't even check a bar code without someone profiling your purchases. I can just see it, today you buy some ham tomorrow they send you a coupon for spam! I'd hate to get a que cat that can't read, imagine the coupons that would spawn!
Now I'm afraid to even get a PVR!
Your using a computer to browse and peruse the Internet, i.e. the "richest" source of information yet devised. You read Slashdot, one of those "rich" sources of info. Perhaps you are not the wealthiest person arround, but you are "rich"!!! The easiest way to be wealthy is to leverage off of others. Pure talent is harder to acheive and harder to sell(mostly because of all the people leveraging off of you!). It's a lot easier if you are a: Pushy, arrogant, uncaring, unfeeling, semi-ignorant, work-aholic on a power trip. In otherwords, well balanced people tend not to become overly wealthy. Some do, but if your not super wealthy it's probably because your a more balanced person - Good for you!!!!
