  Just another case of the right hand not knowing who the left hand is jacking off.

  Re: networked dvr

  The funny part is that Motorola already manufacturers a DVR digital set top box and remote boxes that do just this. It is up to you to purchase it and tell your cable company to shove their box up their collective arses.
  
  No, I don't know about your provider, but Mediacom doesn't want people having BYO CPE on their network. They filed an injunction against my having my own, legally, purchased gear. After I provided a signed affidavit from my sales person at Motorola, they backed down and registered my equipment on their network. All of it is working great. Oh, and I told one of their execs in court that I have been long using Myth TV as my network DVR and a bunch of hacked X boxes to playback on. Man you should have seen how red he got. I love it!!!

  Its all temporary.

  The market is moving quickly toward the time when the idea of a personal dvr isn't really that necessary. It may be useful, but when I can watch what I want, when I'm ready to watch it, free with commercials or a buck and hour without -- at that point I won't care where the content lives.

  Look at it this way, Time Warner had their lawyers all prepped to go to court to battle for DVR's, and it never happened. Now, they are just getting value out of all that prep work.
  
  Gotta like the productivity of that one.

  Too Slow

  Just make a standard networking DVR like Tivo and you can focus on the centralized server wit hubs later. I like the centralized idea so that I can have all my tv on digital and DVR capable but I do not want to wait for legal battles.
