The only real advantages the TVDrive drive are the multiple tuners and the that the video isn't being re-encoded. You could still use your TiVo as normal with the TVDrive using the 'live' tuner, then at least you'd have a backup recorder for important shows. Of course you wont be able to watch TVDrive recordings while TiVo is recording. Also I believe you wouldn't be able to use HDMI as that disables the SCART output which the TiVo would require.

I think I'll hook TiVo up and probably cancel all my season passes and then just use TiVo when I'm away to set recordings via TivoWeb, remembering to flick output back to SCART before I go!

Is the TVDrive capable of remote web based programming, should ntl impliment it in the future?
