Using XMLTV^ (which scrapes TV listing sites and outputs a local XML file), one could conceivably write his own Tivo...
All I'm missing is a scriptable COM object to start/stop the videocapture hardware (I have a GeForce4 Ti).
Anyone have pointers?

Thanks, but I already knew about MythTV...I think there's a link somewhere off the main XMLTV page.
The reasons it's no good for me:
- Linux
- Obviously, no scriptable COM object.
I already have the scheduling stuff working...I just need video-capture functionality wrapped in a scriptable object.

really all the above options are acceptable
when i am return back, my car will sense my approach and that automatically opens the door and gathering what i really want to do next according to my mood.. suppose if i am in a mood to drink that will direct me in to a nearest Beer parlour and and that Refigerator in that parlour will recognise my fav brand and treats me.and when i am drunken my car will safely drives me to my home and my home security system will open the door for me and the TV will tune the channel according to my mood..and the security system will close all the doors and make sure that everything is ok.. and the central monitoring will power off/ manage the air and heat in the room according to my body heat..
hihi how z this system?

of these. They should be preprogrammed and do whatever they are supposed to do. Technology doesn't always help us. I baught a fancy vacuum cleaner not long ago, it didn't actually require programming (just looked different and much cooler). I managed to break it just after the return-grace-period ended. There goes my $300.

That invention already exists. It is called "Taxi".
A less expensive but less luxurious option is called "Bus".

Bring a telephony developer, I already have the ability to program my phone system at home and it is nicely linked into my computer.
But what I would really like to do is link my phone into my TV. I'd love to be able to pop-up the callers name on the bottom of the TV screen when the phone rings. I would then know whether I really had to get up off my ass and answer it.
Whilst my Sky + (Tivo alike) system gives me wonderful control over when and what I watch. I'd love to be able to hook it into my computer, to give me a nice archiving system.

My directtv receiver does that.

What if I can't make up my mind?
If all of the listed appliances were hackable, I'd surely hack any of them but my vehicles - be it my Cessna or my Maserati. Why? I value my life more than to tinker with the ignition control systems of them.
- If I get sour milk I at best kill someone.
- If I get burnt toast, I eat something else.
- If I get a dead phone line, I don't have to talk to anyone.
- If my TV goes black, I do some hacking instead.
- If my Tivo blows up, I send it to a friend in the USA that can press charges for umphteen billions against them for selling "dangerous equipment". Maybe I could even sue the USA for shipping such terrorist materials overseas?
But if my car blows, my plane crashes or my boat sink, due to a malfunctioning engine program, i die...
Sure, some of you might not consider that a loss (hell, even I would consider it an improvement), but still.
Put it this way: If you were in need of a life support system (let's say a pacemaker). Even if you had the option to tinker with it, would you?

A friend of mine had programmed a biological canine agent to do this for him. It was also of use for clearing up after parties as well.

I've heard of that, but if you're not careful, it can throw some nasty exceptions on the floor.
You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

 You don't need a programming interface. You need to give her an ultimatum - work or get lost. I'm assuming she's not home taking care of children or is in some state physically preventing her from working.
