Watching things on the tiny screen instead of on the small screen just isn't very appealing, and if I use the video out, it's all artifacty, typically more than "basic" TiVo encoding. Hopefully my local "source" has what I need on tape. Hopefully.



Yeah, good luck. My monitor is bigger than my TV, so I don't really have the same problems you do... Downloading is better than not watching them, and all morals aside, I love having the comercials edited out for me... (South Park is my addiction, and luckily the realvideo format seems to have been designed for south park specificaly)
