One nice feature of tivo (and replaytv) is that they can be set to 
control an external cable/satellite converter instead of using their 
internal tuner for everything. They come with a little ifrared LED that 
sticks onto the converter's IR port. The tivo/replaytv sets its own tuner 
to channel 4 (or uses a composite video input) and changes channels by 
sending remote-control commands to the converter. This way, you can 
record from scrambled channels and so on.

Do any of the convert-your-PC-into-a-tivo products have anything like 
this?
