Tivo is very clever and was far ahead of its time, it accepts the RGB scart output from the sat / cable set top box, and uses a IR blaster wand to change channels on it.
As you said, they can be picked up on ebay but the only online store ive found still selling them is
http://www.tivoland.com/ (there all modded on that site with bigger hard drives, as a resualt there kindof expensive). Make sure you buy one that comes with a lifetime subscription otherwise you will have to pay 10pounds a month for the tivo service. Without the sub, the box functions only as a basic VCR.
But, if I were you, I would just wait for the 3 tuner telewest PVR due for release at "the end of the year", tivo is showing its age abit now...
