It has the downside of not being open source, and the upside of not requiring either an XBox or a mod chip.

Something worth checking into since for all it's appalling faults and rampant stupidity, the EU does tend to pursue restrictive technologies pretty rampantly (as they have little else to do all day but protect us from our mornonic selves, apparently). Having said all this, I can;t believe that M$ haven't checked out these possibilities beforehand so it may be that they have already got away with it. Anyway - Nice mod and nice to see people using technology to it's maximum instead of just for the sake of using it.

How much did it cost? We're going to be getting an Xbox this Xmas, so I'm curious.. Where did you get the mod chip? How much did it cost?

When I read the intro on macslash (guy uses eyetv, a mac, a pc, and an xbox to act like a tivo!) I thought great, some other goofball with bubblegum and bailing wire who will do anything to avoid buying a tivo. (search for 'tivo' or 'pvr' on slashdot to see what I mean.) but, you did two things differently--you already had all the gear anyway, and you used it to solve a very specific problem. excellent! good job. I've done something vaguely similar--I capture movies (directv box -> s-video cable -> ATI TV-Wonder card -> saved as 352x240 MPEG) and store them on my file server, then I can watch them on another computer or laptop or (rarely) run them through a little book-PC connected to a TV. VCD quality is good enough on a laptop screen (800x600) but kinda bites on TV. luckily, my DirecTivo showed up today... Very cool!
