I don't see anything about recording to a VHS/DVD?? .. not good!

What is the point of recording stuff when eventually through lack of space you
have to
write over it or lose it??

These folks are trying to stay out of the trouble Sonic Blue got into with the
ReplayTV. They got sued over copyright problems.
"Time shifting" seems to be OK but the MPAA is not happy about being able to
save/swap near DVD quality copies of their content.
If you really want to make DVDs you are better with a PC and a capture card.
Until the cable companies start using some sort of copy protection (macrovision
or similar) you can still make a VCR copy of anything your TV can show. The
digital standard already has a copyright flag in it so making copies of digital
shows will be tougher if they don't want you to. I assume the hackers have
already defeated this on a PC based recorder tho.

It's not that difficult. You can buy Toshiba and Panasonic DVD recorders
with hard drives right now. No need to mess around with a PC at all. -Dave
