I'm usually critical of TiVo, particularly since they killed off lifetime subscriptions and released the Series 3. The Series 3 is a very nice DVR, but $800 for one, plus the service fees? Let's get real.

I'm happy to admit that TiVo has done something right... after a long line of fumbles. No, they didn't reinstate lifetime subscriptions, but they DID release a brand new HD capable DVR that's a lot like the S3, only a heck of a lot more affordable at $299.

If you're thinking about getting one, I'd like to pass on some MonsterCommunity savings. DVRupgrade is offering stock and even modified TiVo HD units (at sizes up to 1 TB!) at killer prices, free shipping, no tax if you live outside of Illinois, and one of three special offers depending on what you buy. You won't get that kind of a deal anywhere. All you have to do get that deal is click here.
