I DO THIS ALL THE TIME.    I find the output of the tivo AND instant replay 
(I have both) and it works without a hitch. I actually hook it directly to my 
dvd stand alone recorder.   If you do need to record to the mac, you can use 
the pass through digital   converter featured on SOME sony camcorders. I'm not 
sure which Sony camcorders have this feature, but my digital 8 sony does, as 
well as the 3 chip sony and the simple one chip.

good luck, works well for me
Alan
