I had to buy a new washing machine last night. Thanks to my sociopath former neighbor I got to pay for $129 service call for what a thought was the replacement of a shredded drive belt only to have the guy tell me it needed a new $200 transmission. They would give me half of the charge back toward a new one.
I made the mistake of wandering in to the home theater area to look at the Series 3 TiVo. The picture is of course, amazing in HD. I remembered that I have to buy by the end of 2006 to be able to transfer my lifetime service for $199.
So today I decided to visit the Tivo community forums to see what the best deal is. I went with this one at Weaknees, so I got it for $679 and I have $50 coupon on the way.

The sad thing is I don't have cable or an HDTV. I do have a 1920x1200 LCD monitor that has component inputs that I'll use for a while.
I also don't have cable so no dual CableCARDS. I'm going to just use an antenna for a while. I don't relish dealing with Comcast*. I'll get cable in the new house sometime next year.
