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.
