Figure on another $40 - $60

for the Tivo brand wi-fi adapter. This unit doesn't accept any other brand of USB wi-fi adapter. Never mind that the earlier Tivo's did. Never mind that 802.11x is an international standard and all compliant units provide the same functionality.

This is bald-faced profit-gouging. I thought the Tivo brand was better than this.

Great product

I got sick of paying for direct TV, so I got this and a large over air antenna. Now I pay for the shows I want on amazon, and get the rest for free. It will take me a couple of months to recoup the cost, but not that many. It has great recording quality, and if your TV is like mine, and you need to buy an HD receiver to get HD, this has it built in, while a plane receiver would normally cost around 150-200 anyway.

This will not work with Direct tv, so be careful there. over air and cable only.

Craig

What can I say. This is my second TiVo HD. It is the only way to watch HD TV, and now I can watch a program on one TiVo that was recorded on the other. I highly recommend.

Would buy another

I'm a long time TiVo user and I wanted this new HD TiVo for the following reasons
* To get rid of my cable set top box, it was hot, only allowed me to record one digital channel at a time and required IR switching
* To be able to view HD programming on my standard definition TV.

The HD Tivo does both of these things. The cable company muttered about having to install a cable card but they did it and it went smoothly and quickly. I can now record two of any channel at a time and view the programing on my TV. It also gave me a digital audio out which provides surround sound on programs that are broadcast with it.

Even better than previous versions

I just upgraded from a Series 2 Tivo. Cablecard installation by Comcast was easy. There were no problems scheduling the installation, or with installation itself. It's great not to need a cable box. You can't beat this Tivo, especially knowing that an external hard drive is available to expand recording capacity as more HD programming becomes available.
