Quick question for those who have already gone down this path...  I know you can
transfer video from Series 1 Tivos to another computer.  I've heard there are issues
with doing this for Series 2 Tivos.  Has anyone been able to do the transfer of
recorded video from a Series 2 box and, if so, how big of a pain was it?
