I just thought I'd add this for those that have never seen the 2001 TiVo Series 1. Well there is it on the left, next to the PS3 and VM TiVo above...
The black window on the front had the recording + standby/downloading LEDs and an IR blaster for changing the STB channel when it was due to record. It had an ethernet connection (well you could add one via a PCI card as it was basically a PC running Linux which meant you could login to the command line and add various hacks and scripts for new functionality. If only VM TiVo ran Linux :p
