299 Us im assuming...hmm...so that would be about 400-500 CAN...thats not very expensive...also does it work with satilite tv? if it does, i might look into it.

not sure i dont use satalite. but i'd assume it would work just fine.

I've seen some Tivo's for as low as $99 now which is insane.

Also, DirectTV (I think thats the one, its one of the major ones) has a combo unit of the Sattelite Receiver/Tivo (or the other brand, cant remember name at the time >_< )

yes but as i said with thoes, the reason they're cheap is they're just a tivo unit and they get you on the montly fee.

pay more for a combo unit and theres no montly fee. i think thats a much better trade off.

That's becuase there are 3 different models made by Tivo that differ in size capacity. The $99 one you're referring to can hold 40 hours of recording. And I'm thinking Null's is one that holds around 140 hours of recording. Anyway, thanks Null and Jonbo. I'm going to look for a combo unit as suggested because that'd definately be nice to not have to pay for the service.

I'd just get the $99 one and use a mod and stick in a 250gig HD or 500gig HD and do a jig as I record madly
