Tivo->DVD
Getting programs from Tivo->DVD is a real hassle. It consists of:
1) Copy show from Tivo to PC (pretty darn easy, to be honest, once I got the network card into my Tivo and installed the software)
2) Mark up the video to show the start/end points and remove ads
3) Transcode to MPEG.
4) Retranscode to 720x576, rathe than the 352x576 that Tivo records in (but DVD players tend not to like)
5) Create a DVD menu, etc (using the very spiffy and easy to use TMPGEnc DVD Author)
6) Burn this to an actual DVD
If they'd just put a %^&%^& DVD burner in a PVR I'd be perfectly happy. Oh wait, they have - they just charge about £1000 for them.
