I've done alot of reading on this subjec, although not specifically on
the humax tivo.
That's the next step I'll be taking on mine, getting it on the network
via wireless dongle and making the video unencrypted to drag across
the network onto a disk array.
The web interface alone will be nice though, if for no other reason
than to surf the listings through my laptop instead of that horrid
television interface. (sloooowwww on the DirecTV model)
Just a word of advice, if you can just buy one off of EBay or
something. If you buy from BestBuy or somewhere for the discounted
price, your almost guaranteed to be required to sign a 1 year contract
or some other quack deal. I bought mine on EBay for $100 in it's
original packaging, then proceeded to slap a 120Gb drive in. (with the
help of an aftermarket PTVupgrade InstantCake CD)

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so
many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -
because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too
cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are
called patience and forbearance.
