External Video Cards. Fact or fiction?

When Josh and I lived in Phoenix we had a DVR (digital video recorder) through the cable company. Then, because we missed it so much we decided to get a TiVo and a one year service contract. It just so happened that Best Buy had TiVos for free (when buying a one year service contract) so we bought one. I have to say that a TiVo brand is by FAR better than a regular DVR.
The TiVo can connect to anything on our home network, and we can transfer the shows we record to other devices. Not only that, we can also get traffic reports, see movie theatre listings and reviews, buy movie tickets, play mp3s off of our home computers, play games, shop, listen to our favorite podcasts, and all of that is on top of being able to pause, fast-forward and record our favorite tv shows. It is such a great tool.
I hope I never have to be asked to go without my TiVo. Oh, and if anyone else has a TiVo let me know because our TiVos could talk to one another and share shows.
