The only problem with using this as a replacement for TiVo is that u can't really use your computer while the thing is recording. That's why the Xbox wont be a Tivo replacement. You can't play games AND record your TV shows at the same time.

Only one question remains: will it work correctly with Windows 2000?

Both ATI and Matrox have failed this test. With Windows XP approaching and Windows 2000 so popular, they need to give good support.

Will there be an option to put this as an add-on to your existing card? This kind of sucks for everyone who already has a GeForce2/GeForce3, which is... everyone?
If they made it an add-on board, like the Hauppage WinTV, that would rock. I could always use another TV tuner.

By the way, this page is getting Slashdotted:
