Default Home Grown Solution

Maybe i"m a Tivo Luddite, but I use the following process to watch recorded TV on my Pocket PC:

- Schedule TV program using Guide Plus which came with my ATI All-in-Wonder PCI tuner on my desktop in MPEG-2 format
- Once the program has been recorded on my desktop, I use PocketDivxEncoder to encode and reduce the file to AVI format
- Copy the AVI file from my desktop to my SD card using my card reader
- Insert the SD Card into my PDA and fire up Beta Player to watch at will

I believe this (admittedly homegrown) approach is superior to what Tivo provides and considerably cheaper. It may not be as elegant and seamless, but it definitely adheres to the Principle of Good Enough (POGE).
