One reason I have a Tivo and not a DirecTivo. TivoToGo, transfering between 
Tivos on a home network and recording to DVDs will not work with the 
DirecTivo either.

If I didn't need the slick interface for my wife though, I'd look at MythTV 
instead. Even fewer restrictions and no monthly fee. Still, 40 hr Tivo 
($100)+ lifetime membership ($299) is probably similar in cost to setting up 
MythTV from scratch.
