Yes yes, I know that it's horrible to go ask simple questions on a forum without first looking. But I did look at I looked at the Tivo series 3 thread, which I might point out is over 100 pages long.
I'm so tired of the bs from comcast I've decided to ditch their equipment and go buy a Tivo series 3. But there are a few questions I have (this being my first Tivo) and want to make sure I understand. I have found conflicting answers and some which I think might not apply to the series3.
1. If I get a second tivo in the futute, could I put them together and "slave" one to the other effectively producing a four-tuner tivo?
2. Can recordings be transfered to a PC and then easily transcoded and such into standard divx avi or other formats like could be done with the series 2? And if so, can this be done with HD?
3. If you can transfer files to the computer what are the DRM restrictions and is there a way around them? I mean, hypothetically, if I got the written permission of the network and the equipment manufactures and had all 9 suppreme court justices say it was okay, then could it hypothetically be sidestepped?
Yeah I know, simple questions, but finding the answer is a hell of a lot harder than you might think. I've found a lot of threads/posts/topics here and elsewhere with conflicting answers or answers which don't give hypothetical hacks or whatever.
If someone would be so kind as to help out here I'd so greatly appreciate it!
