Yes, I believe in Magic

I found someone created freeware called IVSMagic. IVS is the Internet sharing mechanism used by ReplayTV users to share shows (among other ReplayTV owners). Someone had already created freeware called DVArchive which allows your PC to look like a ReplayTV unit and allows you to easily download from your ReplayTV unit to your PC. But once downloaded onto your PC*, then you cannot use IVS to send the show to another ReplayTV owner. (By downloading, I do mean downloading and removing the original copy from your ReplayTV unit. Downloading to your PC is a way to free up space on your ReplayTV unit but still have a copy of the show available to view.)

IVSMagic allows you to send the show even though you have already downloaded it to your PC. Now I can send my mom "Teahouse of the August Moon" which is a very good movie starring Marlon Brando in post-war Okinawa.

Update:I did install IVSMagic and it is truly magical.
