How about parsing out the VBI information from the video feed, and grabbing out the "record this" type information that TiVo has convinced the networks to broadcast. That way we get an easy way to record shows that have interesting commercials. <BR>

Oh, wait. We don't watch commercials anymore, do we? ;)<BR>
