TiVo Series 3 Offers Dual HD Tuners
TiVo launched its new Series 3 box today, which offers dual HD tuners, THX-certified sound, a nifty front-panel display that shows what's being recorded, and a total capacity of 32 hours of HD content or (get this) 300 hours of standard-def content. To record HD content, you can either tune over-the-air broadcasts or get a CableCARD (or two) from your local cable monopoly.
Now...the part that makes me physically ill: they're asking $799.99 for these beasts. But, as an upside, you can transfer your existing TiVo Lifetime Service from an old TiVo to your new Series 3 for just $199. Hmm...let me get back to you on that, TiVo.
