I could easily see the bill of materials for a pvr built around this thing being well under $100.
So the tivo business model eventually makes money even if they have to give the pvr's away to get you to subscribe to their $12 month tv-guide xml meta-data service.
Either that or a pvr eventually ends up costing less than a vcr (currently $40) since it has fewer moving parts.

Looks like knoppmyth has gone through two rapid releases since the last time I looked, so time to burn some iso's.
