I guess it's a hacker vs cracker thing. Trust me, if you talk about things getting TiVOized everything in the real world thinks it's about time shifting media.

I don't know why people pick on TiVO when they could just set up a MythTV box. Probably it comes from a mix of laziness and jealousy.

I personally use and love mythtv and would use nothing else, but it is still not an easy thing to set up for most people. Hopefully it will get there one day, but right now a Tivo is just a lot easier.

I think RMS should have the last say, seeing as he invented the concept. TiVo is NOT just about a PVR, it is far more specifically about the way it 'uses' GPL
