      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* ;-)

i do have about tivo is
            wha format
does it save the file in.
