      What functionality Amar?
     
      How do you copy things at the moment? Most people I know would not tolerate or want to watch a VCD on a PC, they all seem to like watching TV programming on a TV for some strange reason! ;-)

            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.
