Swanni at TV Predictions says to expect a HD TiVO, probably within the next three months, for $299. The link is here, if this works...

He must read gizmodo, the blogs and this forum. ;)

Just type it and you don't have to tell us anything.

OK, we'll be nice. Just tell us WHEN we will KNOW the specifics. Some of us have to talk with Santa.
It'll be old news by the time Santa rolls around. :)
Mike - hearing anything on MRV/TTG/TTCB for the Series 3?

Other than ego, why would you even bother to post something like that? If you have nothing to say, why not do just that?

I think he said a lot.

Just to see who would whine first. :p

That's OK, just create a new account with a new alias and blab to your heart's content. :D

So far, bad news...

Maybe they will be offering a Series 3 for $299.99

BUT: Instead of paying $12.99 a Month for a 3 Year Commitment, they will charge $32.99 a Month.

As for MRV/TTG/TTCB, we have already been told its coming some time be it in 2008, 2009 or somewhere around there :D

Let me be the first to say, f*$% that.

How about this, drop all the hoopla crap and just let me record live TV in HD (include ATSC because I'm not going back to cable) to view when I want. No TTG/MRV/TiVoCast/Live365/etc., sh*t I really had no use for when I had a standalone, and let me do it for $79.95 per year or less. Maybe then I'll be interested.

Yup.

Because a moderator breaking the rules (one login per person) would be right up there with hinting at (what one would think is, or at least should be if this is true) NDA protected information.
A major CE retailer was just notified that the new Tivo-lite will be in the store the week of August 5-12. It is currently named "Fusion", but will likely just be called Tivo HD. The specs on it are:

price: $299
source: Digital cable, digital antenna
NO THX certification
Dual tuner
Storage: 20 hrs HD, 180 hrs. SD
No front panel display
Standard remote

Support for SP, WL, KidZone, Online scheduling, Digital music player, Digital photo viewer, Home Movie sharing, Amazon Unbox, Univ Swivel Search

Both the S3 and Lite will have TTG and MRV PRIOR TO THE END OF 2007.


Based on this it seems the cost savings are:

1/2 the storage
No THX
Digital-only tuners
No front panel display
Standard remote (I assume this means the peanut)
See less See more
So I won't be able to tune any of the analog cable channels? (Most of my SD cable channels are non-digital.) If I can't record the Sci Fi Channel or other basic programming, it's fairly worthless to me.

I don't care about THX or the silly display on the front. And I can install a larger hard drive any time I like, so they could sell it with a 10gb drive for all I care.
