TiVoToGo

TiVo is introducing a new feature that will let you move shows from the TiVo to your PC and later to DVDs. That is, unless they're DRM-infected:
No longer confined to TiVo digital video recorders in the living room or bedroom, subscribers will be able to transfer their recorded shows to PCs or laptops and take them on the road -- as long as the shows are not specially tagged with copy restrictions. That's also the case for pay-per-view or on-demand movies, and some premium paid programming.

Can anyone who's got a Series 2 TiVo let me know what fraction of shows are tagged uncopyable?

I know that, for one, The Sopranos is tagged this way.

Interesting. I'm finding that none of my shows are tagged. Not even pay-per-view content. It must be a mistake.

I know of a solution anyway -- 2 Series-2 TiVos in series.
