If you have had a hard time figuring out how to get the television shows that come through your cable TV onto your iPod, you’re not alone. There’s a reason why iTunes is making a ton of money selling television shows that you can get for free. It’s more convenient. The iLuv i182 Digital Recording Dock makes getting your television on your iPod that much easier. It’s not available yet, but it soon will be.

It’s not like a Tivo. It won’t record all the episodes of Friends that play on every channel at all times of the day. You have to tell it specific times and dates for what you want recorded. It’s more like a VCR for your iPod than a Tivo for your iPod. Even still, being able to tell it to record House every week and automatically put it onto your iPod is a great leap forward in technology.

Another cool thing about it is that this is no ordinary iPod accessory. It can record to a Sony PSP, SD cards, Memory Stick, a USB device and a bunch of other card formats. I love that they have made it capable of saving my shows so I can watch them on my Treo if I want.

My only wish is that Apple would come out with something like this for me. I would willingly watch local commercials so that I can easily record television shows to my iPod.
