I was toying with the idea of HD/Tivo since I already have HDTV with HD DirectTV and a 53" rear projection HDTV. Figure when the current VHS unit dies that Tivo would be the logical replacement. The grand for the HD variant was pretty off putting, of course.

The big thing is to know which models are best supported in the "hobbiest" area. Getting the TiVo is just part of the project. It'd then need to be hacked to support wireless LAN as well as have more hdd space added with access to that storage from other PCs on the LAN (view a stored movie from a PC via the LAN).

Anyone have some links on where these types of projects are discussed with the how to's and such?
