    Future TV

    http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/7673569691391003

    Concept: Your PVR collects programs off the air or via the Net, and lets you watch what you want, on your own schedule.

    Andrew Grumet has an RSS-powered personal TV network. You can put shows into his network here: http://www.grumet.net/ptv/add . He also has an aggregator that automatically tells his Tivo what to record. Tivo could probably do this themselves rather easily, but they always seem to be wary of offending Big Media.

    Needed to tweak a little bit to remove carriage-returns from saved file.

    Also, if creating new page, set remembered last-modified time to 'now'.
