Three part answer:

1) I have 3 TiVo's (2 of which are combo units), 2 VCRs, a DVD player and a Laserdisc player in my entertainment center. There are no computers anywhere near it. I'd have to build a new computer to put in the living room. Then I have to deal with 20-foot keyboard extensions and power and lots of issues I'm not ready to deal with.

2) I looked and didn't like any of the choices I saw. Can't record HDTV worth a damn yet (well, you can with some capability, but not from DirecTV at all, and you have to jump through serious hoops).

3) No video source near the computer, and besides I use the computer for playing games. I don't want to have to stop playing Asheron's Call just because some TV show I want to record to DVD is coming on. That's why I have a TiVo, after all.
