  We'd secretly coveted this when chosing our own recent TiVo, but couldn't shell out the big bucks. Boy am I glad now. urlLink Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things : "TiVo has rolled out 'TiVo to Go,' a service that allows you to move video from your TiVo to your PC's hard-drive, and then to burn the file to a DVD.
Unfortunately, the system uses a proprietary DRM system that tethers the video to your machine and your home, meaning that you can't move the video to your hard-drive as an MPG file that you can edit at will, send to a friend, include in a school report, grab stills out of to make a highlight reel, etc. In other words, TiVo is lagging the functionality available for free in open source software projects like mythtv.
