DT - What kind of A/V outputs are on a TiVo unit?

And, it automatically skips the commercials? How well does it do that, like when a movie fades in?

I'd rather record direct to my computer like I tried last time - but that's a tough commitment to sit here for 4 nights starting/stopping between commercials - then editing it all back together.

But I like making the DVD menus and chapter stops -- the first time I tried this (with a bad signal thanks to Comcast ) I even had some little extra features

Edit: Maybe I'll try Comcast's DVR service. Hmm. I got a month to figure it all out...
