Tivo tricks

So, we all know that Tivo lets you time shift stuff on TV, lets you record things that you might like without knowing that you might like it, and so on.

But did you know that you could subscribe to online only shows and download them to your TV?

For example, the center-left blog Talking Points Memo does a show called "TPMTV" every day, where they do a short clip on the days news. You can access it here:

This sort of thing is another use of the Tivo system (and other digital recorders?) that most likely no one would have thought of a few years back, but seems really useful.

Ok, so this might have been better as a comment somewhere, but I didn't see an appropriate place...
