Yeah, it's pretty handy stuff. I've been running SageTV on my PC for several months and absolutely love it. Then a few weeks ago we noticed that DirecTV is giving away the R10 DVR box (sells for $99.99ish, and has a $100 rebate) so we picked one up to put in the living room. The new setup allows the wifey to time-shift her stuff and record shows we watch together on the new unit, and lets me use the PC DVR for simultaneous programming and things I want to archive. She's quickly grown to see the beauty of a tapeless existence, and as soon as I back up a few boxes full of old tapes our last VCR will be tucked away into the back of a closet.
