TiVo Series3
Amidst my disappointment with Apple's "sneak peak" of their new streaming entertainment set-top box iTV, I turned my attention to something I've always loved - TiVo! The new TiVo Series3 is out and it's a huge upgrade.
First off, those who were anxiously awaiting for HD support, now you've got it. It can record two HD shows while you watch a 3rd at the same time. No other DVR on the market does that right now. It also has two CableCards slots so TiVo 3 was designed not to complement your cable box, but to replace it, FINALLY YAY! The last bit concerns HDMI, currently the ONLY DVR to support the soon to be component standard for anyone with a flat panel TV. Of course the new OLED screen and redesigned controller complete with backlight buttons is a nice touch too. It's $800 right now so its HELLA expensive. Just give it about a month or two, then you'll see all those special holiday deals drop in.
