Re: TiVo vs. Oceanic's DVR
Right now, you can already send shows from one TiVo to another. With TiVo-To-Go (here's the official announcement), though, yes, you willbe able to do stuff with your TiVo content - music, shows, and photos - on other devices, including PCs.
The big giant question mark is how their DRM system will work. I think at one point it was literally going to be a physical dongle or USB key that needed to be plugged into the alternate device to authorize playback... but last I've heard, it's going to be an all-software solution, probably comparable to Apple's FairPlay.

For the first time, TiVo subscribers with Home Media Option(TM) will be able to move their favorite programs stored on a TiVo DVR to a laptop for viewing on the road, or to any PC. For those who have a PC equipped with a DVD burner, programs can then be burned to DVD so users can take the TiVo experience with them wherever they go.
