Yeah, my SimpleTV is pretty basic when it comes to the core features of recording (one tuner, not terribly sophisticated recording options), but it does tie into all the Roku boxes I already own and can stream across the net to other locations. Pretty powerful for the $100 investment put into this setup. Already owned the Roku boxes, the external drive, the antenna, etc. Just wish Simple.TV had enabled local archive for the gen 1.
Suppose I could grab a gen 2 dual tuner next time it drops down to $150 or less and add it to my existing lifetime sub. Might be the cheapest way to go. TiVo seems like it should be really, really useful, but the outlay in cost is always a bit too steep for me to do more than tip my toe in the TiVo pool.
