Although the Tivo unit records on a hard drive, since it doesn't have a firewire port, any export from it (whether to a PC or a TV) is in analog
 format.  If it had a firewire port, it would be in digital format.
 
 Yes, it will allow you to do what you want..... You will be able to capture
 (at a one to one ratio) your TV programs from your Tivo and edit (if
 desired) on your PC and then burn DVDs from them. Analog capture and editing
 software seems to be included...

 Remember... it's:
 
 1) going to be a long job.  Each one hour program will take one hour to
 capture
 2) going to take a lot of hard drive space.  A notebook with a 5400rpm drive
 isn't exactly the fastest drive in the universe.... you may get dropped
 frames when the drive can't keep up with the data transfer.
