Huh?  It's not similar *at* *all*.  The Fury 4K and Firestorm 2X are 
film recorders.  You feed them film, at 1 frame per second for 35mm 
film, and they digitize it.

TiVo and MythTV are PVRs.  You feed them a video signal and they record 
it, which may involve digitizing the signal and may not (e.g., if you 
have a DirecTV TiVo, the signal comes in digitized).  They also deal 
with scheduling recordings using data from a program guide.
