It is really a shame - that's just life. It isn't TiVo's problem, and I think the people saying TiVo needs to find a way to make this quick and easy are being dumb. Sure, they could change their systems to record everything in DVD compliant MPEG2 - which the DVD-RW units do - but that also severely drops recording time for higher quality levels. And it won't help when they go to CableCARD for digital cable, you'd still need to re-encode that signal. And you'll need to do it for DirecTV too, if they ever pick up TTG. Yeah, I’ve seen that.

Guess I will just have to try again tomorrow.
