From what I have read it will NOT work with DirecTV or Dish Network. It will only work with digital cable.

So, when is it coming out with a built in DVD player so you can transfer copies, HD or otherwise onto disks??

Yes, it can record 300 hours of standard def and it has a S-video output as well as HD outputs.

1) don’t know, but don’t count on it. A blu-ray or HD DVD recorder would be nice though (hint)

2) yes, AND tivo is dumping the lifetime subscription for the new recorders (bummer, but I understand). So this does sound good. HD Tivo ans PS3 this year? ouch. Time to take out another mortgage

$1000+? Kind of much for the unit and transfer. I really thought that the $199 was for the transfer and the unit! Ha boy was I let down. How much do you guys think this is really worth? I think:
Unit= $400
Transfer= Free (who I’am I kidding)

My current cable company HD DVR is dreadful. The $800 is almost worth it to get out from under that thing. My concern is that I want to hook the HDMI up to my receiver and then off to the TV but with my other equipment I usually get the HD Copy block which stinks because I have to hook the HDMI up to the HD TV set and then another optical to my AV equipment for sound.

comcast is supposed to be rolling out the tivo software on their DVR’s in the next 6-8 months (so I am told) so the HD dvr nightmare box they have out now will be usuable. Tivo has been pissin’ me off lately, pushing out faulty updates that slow down the box.

A Series 3 cost $799. Sorry, but that’s rediculous. I can build a MythTV for much cheaper and upgrade the components whenever I want.

I’m a Tivo 2 user, but at that price, there’s no way I’m spending $800 just for HD compatibility.
