You can do the daily call over the tivo serial cable to your PC for near-zero cost if you are brave:

I'd also keep an eye on ebay for a networked tivo... its a buyers market at the moment, with networked & lifetime machines going dirt cheap (£150 for a lifetime+cachcard?)

Prices will most likely go back to normal after this month (holiday season..),
then you can sell your unupgraded machine back on ebay at £100

I don't keep track of them all, but here's a few out of my watch list (missed em!)

TiVo + 120GB drive + 512Mb CacheCard - £50 - 270143132853 (ouch!)
TiVo + 200GB drive + 512Mb CacheCard - £86 -230148058132
TiVo + lifetime + 512Mb CacheCard - £181 - 190115078655
