I have a Ti4200 with an S-video VIVO connection. Would I be able to connect this up to my standard DirectTV receiver? I have directTV being installed on Friday and I want to know if there is any particular model I should ask for. I would really like to setup my computer to record shows through this instead of getting a TIVO or some other recorder. Any thoughts or experience?

Well some models have serial control ablility, this would make having your PC change the reciever channels much easier. However I do not know brand or model numbers that have this.
