Transferring files to and from your PC

im interested in capping tv shows, but im dont really want to put some effort into it. what could the video quality be closely compared to (VCD, SVCD, DVD...)?

I get good results capturing from Tivo. It's somewhere between VHS and DVD in the end result.

I saw this in a book store a few weeks ago, made me chuckle. I have about 5 or 6 good links for hacking Tivo to get the video off the drive into you computer if anyone want them. I considered getting a tivo or replay, but the subscription bothered my. Now I have the Bungholio working well, and I don't care about it, just to lazy to delete the links.

I just got a ReplyTV. Main reason I got it versus a TiVo was the fact that ReplayTV comes with the capability to network to PCs and other ReplayTVs already built in with no hacking.

I got mine networked to my PC, through ethernet wire, and my girlfriends Mac via wireless.

So far I downloaded a couple of shows and been able to make VCD mpgs out of them with DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc.

Quality is about the same as when I capture them with my PC's capture card.
