I have a question, do you have to register this unit with DTV before you can use it? I'm only asking because I have a friend who is periodically using a "pirate" card to access DTV, and he may occasionally want to record something that he is receiving "illegally". Just wondering if there was a way that DTV could check what you had recored on Tivo?

Oh yeah... If Rob backs out on this, my "friend" would be interested.
