Although the Yahoo portal for your Tivo is new, this feature, with the minimum 1-hour in advance, has been around for a while at tivo.com. Slowly, the canned and subscription DVR's are listening to what people really want. But I don't understand why they won't just put a simple web interface on their own devices. MCE has a similar feature - logon to msn.com and schedule a recording, but no remote access directly to your MCE from a browser. Reasons like this are why we all love our MythTV.
------- The reason for the lack of a web interface is simple. As long as you are forced to go thru a portal they are able to collect info on your viewing habbits. This info can be sold or can be used to push targeted ads to your web browser when you access their web site. Of course, I would never use a PVR that did not have the ability to completely skip commercials or one that allows the broadcaster to erase programs from my box so the lack of a web interface is not a big deal. LOL - Its gotten so bad at my house that the wife will no longer watch live tv just because the commercials are so annoying. PS - Putting a unprotected web server on the internet is just asking for trouble seeing how poor of a job most people do in keeping up with the security updates.
