Digital Video Recorder
What we have in mind is a DVR that we can hook-up to our home Comcast HD cable, record shows/movies, then use an HDMI cable to watch on the road. Don't need the TiVo features, just something that woul...

I would look specifically to a TIVO box. They are designed to do just what you are describing.
don't TiVo boxes require a subscription to function?
I believe they do, to the program listing service.. HOWEVER they may be able to go into "VCR Mode" where you program like this:
Menu
Manual program
Single/repeat (Single)
Date
Times (Start/stop)
Channel
And it goes out and does what you tell it to
Mine can be programmed that way with or w/o a program listing service.
I do subscribe (2.00/month) to a service however. (Mine are ReplayTV not TiVO, an old competitor which TiVo had to work some to match before the switch to digital, Replay did not make the switch).
My set up is a tad Rube Goldburg. but it does it all. And I like it.
Program listings downlod to a server here, Then it modifies them and uploads them to the Replays, (Or rather they download from it) it also handles file transfers Replay to "Other devices" and lets me control the replays from any browser. I can shoot a video with my camera, or download it, and stream it up to the replays (Though now days there is an easier way, or 3)
Took TiVO till revision 3 to get around to all the features I have and a few.. Still missing.
