If anyone on the list has tried out a TIVO box, can you tell me whether any
of it's features work at all WITHOUT a subscription? I've checked out many
of the TIVO hack sites but they are mostly interested in how to add a
second harddrive to record even more TV as opposed to not ever hooking it
up to the phone line to let the TIVO people know what you are watching.

I am interested in using one for recording video from a camera instead of
using a VCR.  At $200, it looks hard to beat in terms of trying to kluge up
my own system.

Thanks!
Tom M.

ps. for anyone who is curious, a TIVO box is a 'pc' with embedded LINUX, a
hard drive, a modem, and a video encoder/decoder made to record TV when you
are not around plus a few other VCR-like features.
