I have my Tivo set for 10am CST next Sunday to catch this program. I'm still trying to figure out how to hack my Tivo box so I can save television programs to my computer and eventually post here.

Ken, TiVo uses a regular IDE hard drive...

Just pop it out and attach it as a slave to your computer...

I dont know how the video is encoded/compressed on the box but I'm sure its in a standard format. Most likely mpeg.

Once you get them on your computer I can encode them in a portable format for you if you dont know how.

boxster vs. s2k show was okay, the driver they put in the boxster drove like he was one handed. THe dude in the s2k was doing mad drifts while the boxster driver would take the turns slowly

heh heh... maybe the Boxster driver was pissed cuz it was so cold outside!

That "comparison" was pretty lame. They basically said the Boxster was better but it costs nearly twice as much. I guess that's just not how I would put it. I wonder if they think you get what you pay for in the Boxster as compared to the S2000?? The Boxster should be a bit quicker, has a much more useable power band and is more luxurious, but at what cost??? I can forgive an awful lot of things for $20-25k!!
