Does it record the raw mpeg2 stream or reencodes the video?

I believe it simply stores any digital stream it records, and only encodes any analog stations it finds.

Nice avatar. :D

(You're right - for ATSC or digital cable, the bitstream is recorded directly. For NTSC the analog signal is encoded at the Tivo.)
