Hello to all: I'm closing in on one year of FIOS service which comes with a complimentary year of DVR service. Unless I can get Verizon to come up with another way to save the $12 or so a month on the DVR, or get them to give me another free year of DVR service, I'd like to learn what others have done to convert their machines (Mac Mini for me) into a DVR on FIOS. How controllable are the FIOS boxes? I know I could always get an old VCR, keep the FIOS channel where it is, and record to tape. But, that somewhat limits shows on a tape, and the need to baby sit the channels. I think homemade DVR with a computer is more flexible. I'm happy to hear what others have done. What apps are available for MacOS (Snow Leopard)? If another OS is preferred, which would work best for a PC [Mac]-based DVR setup? Thanks. Scott
