So, not only could you rip your DVD collection, you could also record TV, play music, play rom video games, etc.

He has a seperate HD Tivo box so he doesnt need that feature. Basically, this is just a way to backup all of his DVDs to a HDD and play them. It would be cool if they made something like that after market but after a lot of searching there just is no such solution under the cost of building this system.

It sort of baffles me why no one has thought to do this concept. It seems practical enough to be able to store all of your dvds onto a system and play them back on your tv. I suppose the issue of copywriting would come into play because there would be no way to prevent people from backing up movies that they dont actually own...

some tivo and dvr devices have usb and firewire ports where you can plug in a flash drive or external HD.

I would prefer to have an all in one unit that is also a PC that way I could do everything on one device.
