Point well taken.

I have a Media Center PC, but for 99% of my TV recording, I use my TiVo. It's just easier and it's there at my TV, not residing elsewhere. But that's a here and now evaluation, not in the future when things will certainly be different.

The thing that will give TIVO it's value in the future is it's software, not it's hardware. A lot depends on two issues; can TIVO remain the most elegant solution, and can TIVO defend it's IP? If it can defend it's IP, it's a slam dunk, worth A LOT more than it's current valuation. If it can't defend it's IP, then it's in a horse race with the likes of MSFT, not an enviable situation.

In the meantime, it's certainly a great trading stock... and fun to root for. If they were to win (or even settle) the ECHO lawsuit, a double in stock price wouldn't be a surprise.
