Yes, but not the series 1 and series 2. Correct me if I am wrong, but
aren't the only HD TiVos units that rely on the content already being
encoded into mpeg? I do not know of a TiVo that can take baseband
HDTV, either component, DVI or whatever, and encode it to mpeg to
write to a disk, or any units that can write unencoded HD to any
storage medium.
AFAIK any HD-capable mpeg encoder is way out of any normal consumer's
price range.
