Claim 1 is for a system with tv tuner, internal hardrive and a removable media. So it is slightly different then a Tivo. Although I don't think taking a Tivo and slapping a CD writer on it should be eligible for a patent. Especially if TV tuners where available at retail at the time (pretty sure they were, but I have no evidence of that.) Basically anybody that put a TV tuner into a computer with a CD writer is prior art for claim 1.
