Do you have any reason to think that Apple will eventually sell a Tivo like
service?  It would be nice to be able to record movies as easily as Tivo,
but with the advantage of being able to move the movie to another room.  Of
course, I could get the same thing if Tivo would just ad a Firewire port and
let me record onto an external hard drive.
