I guess the issue is that the user would still have to pay the $20/mo DVR fee and that the number of users wanting this isn't that big. It would be a 2-tuner DVR for the Mac, capable of getting all of the channels. I'm guessing that it's not that simple, but this kind of functionality would be great. It would turn on the DVR, select the recording, hit play on the DVR, hit record on the Mac. When the recordings are done, EyeTV could wait until a pre-set time to offload. If a second recording is requested, EyeTV would 'swap' the tuners and record that channel as well. Then EyeTV would send an IR blast to the DVR to turn on, tune to channel X, and record. The user would set the recording from within EyeTV. What I'm thinking is that EyeTV would control all aspects of the cableco DVR. At the end of the timer, the cablebox would then send a signal to stop the VCR. When the timer hit, it would send a signal to the VCR to turn on and start recording. I would use the guide on the cablebox and set up a recording.

Maybe it's a little more complicated, but back in the day, I used to have a cablebox that had an IR blaster that could control a VCR. Regarding multiple tuners, I have the option of choosing an off-the-air channel from my EyeTV 500 or using the Component input from the Hauppage for any scheduled item. The picture quality is about the same as using Air Video Server to do on the fly compression and maybe even slightly better. It uses my Turbo.264 HD to assist in on-the-fly compression.

The quality isn't that good and there's about a 30 second delay, but it does make the iPad into a good enough portable TV when I'm downstairs. Speaking of which, I can now stream live TV using the component input from the Hauppauge using EyeTV 3.4, which was also released today. Although I bought the HDPVR Capture application and EyeTV 3.3, I've been happier using EyeTV because it's easier for me to get video in a format I can stream to my iPad and it has some good-enough editing tools. Although I use the optical input on the Hauppauge, it's been more trouble than it's probably worth as far as synced video. At roughly $100-$125 cheaper than the Hauppauge HD PVR/EyeTV 3.4 combo, I probably would have gone that route if it had been available two months ago.
