Dan Rather Not The Only Inaccurate Reporter
Found the article linked below at the Business Week website. Seems that Steve Wildstrom is sadly misinformed about the HDTV Tivo, stating:
"...it's more than a little disappointing that sophisticated gear such the Microsoft Media Center PC has such limited ability to handle HDTV. When equipped with a digital tuner, Media Center can show and record HD programming, but only from local broadcast stations -- no ESPN, no HDNet, no HBO. The DirecTV HD receiver, which incorporates a TiVo digital video recorder, has a similar limitation. "
This is absolutely incorrect. My HD Tivo records Lost, Desperate Housewives, Star Trek: Enterprise, Dead Like Me, Penn & Teller's Bullshit and Joey as season passes each week in beautiful HD. I also use it to pause HDTV live, and watch NASCAR races in HD. We've also been watching the Baseball Playoffs this year in HD. It all works great.
What a dumb ass.

Update:
He removed the part about the Tivo. Not a correction, it just vanished, like it was abducted by aliens. How funny.
