Tivo HD
- Control live HDTV and record 2 digital cable shows at once*
- 180 hours of standard recording time or up to 20 in HD
- ordinary old style Tivo remote
- cost $299
Both units support up to 2 cablecards to allow for the recording of two shows at once. The units also support over the air (OTA) HDTV via an antenna.
I love the price point of the Tivo HD and would jump on it except that a subscription is still required. I hate the idea of paying an additional $100 a year to subscribe to Tivo.
For now I'm going to continue playing with my Microsoft Media Center Edition box.
