Do you have the ability to save a recorded program (preferably in a
format usable elsewhere) from the TiVo? Can you record from Line In?

If there's a good solution to this problem (i.e., get a real DVR
using the Mac and not requiring another subscription to something
or getting the DVR capable box from Cox) . . .I would love to hear
it.
i don't know Cox Cable (i don't use cable at all), but the new TiVo
boxes have dual tuners and cablecard slots, and even the old TiVos
can change channels on a cable box for you; i don't know if the
TiVo/cablecard solution lets you tune two encrypted channels
simultaneously, but if not perhaps you can tune one encrypted and
one non-encrypted channel
personally i doubt the EyeTV experience could match TiVo, and the
cost of TiVo (versus cable and a Mini) is competitive; we dumped
cable in 2000 because TiVo plus the local library's DVD collection
(plus streaming more recently) were plenty for us (digital
broadcast TV has only made it better); we now have two TiVos one of
which i got used four years ago -- it cost $100 and has a lifetime
subscription, which brings the subscription cost of the second TiVo
down to $7/month; that plus we were able to trade up our ten-year-
old TiVo for a refurb TiVo HD for $100 a couple years ago (a bit of
hassle, though since the first one was DOA)
so $7/month, no cable fees, and maybe $500 equipment outlay over
ten years
