What a long strange trip......

I started out with Tivo envy because it is not available in Canada. My only choice was a $500.00 box from the cable company that had been getting terrible reviews.

Looked into modding a Tivo to work in Canada - Way over my head. - Found a mention of Myth TV in the Tivo for Canada forums.

Looked into Myth Tv - Spent a month installing / learning linux - Made some progress but Myth TV was also over my head (my head is fairly low)

Found a mention of GBPVR in the Myth TV forums - Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Now I have a solution that is much better than what I was looking for originally.

I expect ebay to be flooded with Tivo's if they keep this up. Check out this article...

I followed the exact same path to arrive to arrive at GB-PVR (except I just read what others were doing instead of doing it myself.)

Now that Tivo is available in Canada I won't be switching. No corporate-controlled box for me, thanks!
