You'll have to wait a bit. They've announced products are being worked
on, but the Cable-Card TiVo won't be out for some time yet.

BTW: DVDs aren't High-Def, you'd have to step down the resolution to archive
shows on DVD, not sure if there's enough CPU power in a set-top box to
do transcoding like that.

There are no devices in the consumer price range with that
functionality. Are you willing to spend several thousand dollars for
professional-grade equipment?
