- Pre-order a TiVo Cache Card | PVRblog -- gosh I would love one of these but...I just can't afford the risk of messing with our Tivo box.

I can screw up printers, servers, individual PCs, DVD players, whatever, and generally the crowd will be tolerant. But if I screw up Tivo, I am sleeping on the couch. |
