The patent system is a joke; it's essentially a lawsuit licensing department. The real tragedy is that genuine patents are lost in the madness of all these idiot ones.]]>Mar 14th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/Mar 13th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/

A couple of tuner cards in your HTPC, and you just d/l onto your Zune if you want to take it with, granted you might have to use an old fashioned remote, but I'm sure it'll save you a couple of grand and you might actually be able to get it in another colour rather than white....]]>Mar 13th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/Mar 13th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/

I don't see a cable-card slot for my AppleTV to eanble me to do this.
I could use an elgato EyeTV in the USB port potentially for OTA viewing.

The guide also shows "HBO" though, so either this will do non-HD recording (Tivo2 style), or they're experimenting with a comlete IPTV solution with Apple as the provider.

Which kind of makes giving the "Download" and "Record" options mixed in on some of the menus.

The future is FREE, Apple, I hope you're listening.

I have a Dish DVR but for various reasons have taken to streaming TV from Hulu or ABC through my laptop and onto my HDTV. Works like a charm, and I never miss a show, and I can watch them whenever I want to, and more of them are offered in HD resolution than Dish provides locally. As soon as someone makes this whole internet-TV thing really intuitive and easy to use, Dish and DirectTV and Apple and everyone else is deep doo doo.]]>Mar 14th 2008 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/Mar 14th 2008 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/Mar 14th 2008 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/apple-patent-looks-towards-dvrs-with-portability/
Probably won't be as slick as anything Apple will design, but it sounds like they're hoping to hit certain Comcast markets as soon as first quarter 2009.
