1. It seems that Tivo is the easiest when recording with season pass,
by keywords (example: all shows about surfing).

However, when recording tivo programs to DVD, it can be really
troublesome? (transfer it wirelessly, transcode it, burn it to DVD-R)

2. So the DVD-R DVR is the easiest with recording as a DVD, but it is
not so good with season pass and keywords yet?

3. and the third solution, it seems, is the PC Media Center, including
the HP z556 and Sony's XL2... but they can be a bit troublesome when
needing to make into a DVD. (transcoding, burn. the transcoding can
be slow)

so we have solution 1, 2, and 3, and we don't have a good solution
yet.

Tivo with a DVD recorder built in might be the best, but then, the
Humax is said to have some image problems and Toshiba's model is no
longer available.

Is there really a good solution really?
