Thanks for replying back and for your time.

Just one possibility, would be nice for this setup but not an absolute
responsibility.

Been there done that.  It worked but not very successful with this.  Mic
issues, timing.  Spent a lot of time scripting around this.

Yes it is coming form the source.  I am thinking of purchasing

Only concern is, once recording sits on the TIVO, (yes it is ethernet
enabled) how to rsync it to the HTPC upstairs so I can play on the BigTV.
Can Linux see the files on the TIVO device ?

This is another device *

thinking what to do.*
