I know all about it, I already own two and use the 3 or 4 Macs in the 
house to serve them. ( I have AAC on the Cube to sync with the iPod and 
an MP3 mirror on a B&W to serve the TiVo). I also serve iPhoto to the 
TiVo's. Now, if I could just figure out how to offload video on the 
TiVo to a VCD, or how to easily my eyeTV play directly to the TV ...

Unfortunately, since TiVo looks to be moving more towards licensing and 
away from building hardware, it really isn't much of an answer for 
Apple..
