I played around with an MVP because I had one already. They do have
some advantages over a TiVo in that they are totally silent, very
small and consume little power. All I wanted to do was view
recordings so the limitations didn't bother me.
I'm not suggesting anyone "buy" a TiVo to use as a front end, and
even if it could be made to work as a F/E it would also be
"incomplete in their functionality" for several reasons. An XBox
might be a better solution, or a Mac Mini, it all depends on what you
want to do.
But a lot of us have these old TiVo units hanging around, as you said
in your original post it is a shame they can't be more useful.
