Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice and direction as far as equipment and plans. I am a techie but not with A/V. I personally do not watch TV but my wife has "her shows" and with the new season being upon us... I'm doing this for her.
I was looking at the current special, which ends today, on the Tivo site, that includes an 80-hour Series2 DT and a free factory renewed wireless adapter (which I will need to get on my network). There are times when 2 of her shows come on at the same time so this box with the dual tuner seems to fit the bill in that regard.
I was also looking at the 3 year plan, for pricing reasons. We have Comcast basic analog cable in Philadelphia with no plans to change that. I did just read about the anticipated conversion to all digital in 08. I'm not sure what ramifications that might have on equipment (cable box and Tivo box) or the wiseness of paying 3 years upfront.
I will continue to do research but with the pending special ending today I figured I'd ask for help here to expedite my figuring this all out and if that special is indeed good for my needs.
Thanks!
PS Will I still need a cable box?
