DirectTV Tivo Promo Question

[Gojira69]

Maybe you've seen it. DTV is offering a 35-hour Tivo DVR for $100 and $5 a month. They ship the Philips DC7000 Digital TV Recorder or a clone of it. Be3fore I take the plunge, can anyone tell me if I can make off-load recorded shows form this DVR in the digital format? I did not see a Cat-5 output on the back of the sample I saw at Best Buy tonight, but there are two USB ports on the back.

Not really. The USB ports are not currently enabled. You might check over at the Tivo Community forum about this. It is theoretically possible but it involves hacking your Tivo and you void the warranty when you open the case. I've got 2 Hughes Tivos that are just begging for larger hard drives but I will wait out the warranty, I think.
