I've never heard of it unless that some sattelite decoders also have a 90
gig harddisc. Perhaps some of them have tivo?? I will ask. It sounds good.
VHS is out, but I still use it to make copies of DVD's and record old movies
from Turner Classic Movies. Here we get a 3-pack of 4 hour VHS for some 3
dollars, while recordable DVD's still are some 8-9 dollars each.
