      You can share programs really easily as TiVo hooks upto you VCR as well.  When recording programs to VCR you just choose a save to tape option. Of course the disadvantage here is that you are going from a digital source to an analogue one.
     
      TiVO will probably never support digital video extraction since Replay TV the (US competition to TV) got sued for providing that functionality.

      i am not putting down tivo at all but i have questions as to use.
      what happens if you record a program and then want to share it
      with someone. how do you give them copy ?
      what happens in the following in the following well know situations
      A friends asks,  "can you please record eastenders for me i forgot to set my video"
      Am i right in thinking you cannot share programmes recorded unless you copy over
      to ARGH vhs ?

            Some of the guys particularly Don and Justin have been doing just that on the Turbonet forum with varying degrees of success AFAIK. Once I get a card I'll start playing around with it myself.
           
            TiVo is native Linux so I have no idea how it works, it just does. But and, listen up Linux peeps, if Linux could run all the software I wanted and it ran as well as TiVo I would be doing rather a few OS installs, yes I would get rid of my Windows, it is *that good* ;-)

            one question i do have about tivo is
            wha format does it save the file in.
            and can you transfer that file to a pc
            and then burnit on a cd as a vcd ?
