I burned the show to DVD, and can send you a copy if you don't need 
it real soon.

I highly recommend that people get a TV tuner card for their PC and 
run Sage TV, which works (IMHO) better than TIVO.  I can schedule 
recordings quickly and easily - search by title, person, topic, 
etc.  I can also define a set of favorites and appropriate shows are 
recorded automagically.  Since everything is recorded to mpeg files, 
I can edit the files, including deleting commercials, and burn the 
results to DVDs.  I can also watch the shows from my laptop if I 
prefer.  I have a bunch of DVD-RW, which I can use just like temp VCR 
tapes.  I record movies and shows my wife wants to see, and then 
overwrite them with more movies.

For example, a couple of years ago we were going to visit the Grand 
Canyon and surrounding areas.  I added favorites for Grand Canyon, 
Zion National Park, etc. and the program found and recorded a bunch 
of shows from the travel channel and others that we could use to 
research the places we wanted to see.

The program also has a feature that I don't use, but seems to be 
similar to TIVO - you can ask it to record additional shows based on 
what you specifically request.

Of course, you need a huge hard drive, but those are getting cheaper 
and cheaper.
