In what I consider a very interesting development, Neuros and DVRupgrade have partnered to bring you some tivo sync bounties. Basically allowing the OSD to automatically record along with the TiVo for your season passes, etc. Check out
OdNT. I think this actual functionality is pretty interesting, but even beyond that, the idea that a third party reseller is getting involved in development is pretty interesting. I've long believed that open source hardware will spawn 3rd party customizers/resellers, and that open source hardware will be distributed in ways that mirror different Linux distributions. Details of the DVRupgrade bounties can be found on the
DVRupgrade forums
