That's a good point, and certainly one to consider. My TV-watching area is already a mess of cables, speakers, and boxes, and I really appreciate being wireless with the iBook. > And John Robinson says: "With EyeTV you can opt to have the show made into a QuickTime movie, which you could then send to another person, collect a series and store offline, etc. etc. Of course you could take the show and put it into iLife or Final Cut Pro and work with various clips to remove unwanted material, or take a section and include in your home movie (careful of copyright infringement)." If your Tivo records to DVD (presumably you can use re-writable disks?), can you then load whatever format it uses into QT/iLife and edit out the commerc-- er, unwanted material -- on a Mac? (iMac, in my case, as it has a bigger hard drive) Then write it back to a non-re-writable DVD? Thanks for your valuable insights!
