I searched on "VCR PVR DVR Video Tuner" and didn't find anything at all, so now I'm posting.


I want to use one of my N800's as a replacement for a VCR. I have a Tivo, and rather than dumping my programs to tape, or even a DVD recorder, I want to put a TV tuner of some sort on my N800 and record straight to MPEG.

Ideally, I could run a web server on the N800 for controlling the recording/tuning behaviors on the N800, or a VNC server on the N800, as well, so that I could remote control it (from my N810 even) when I want to initiate such a recording. It would also be nice to be able to use something like NFS or Samba to move the programs over to my Mac or Ubuntu systems.

Anyone have ideas for the Tivo->N800 hardware, or the remote controlling of the N800 for this purpose?
