How can that be? There are some 229 threads in this "PVRs and VCRs" forum which contain the word "Tivo" in the thread title. The Tivo PVR is capable of recording programmes from an external source. The Tivo is the original PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and some would claim that it is the only true PVR.
