HDTV Tivos Are Out

Tivo fans have been awaiting this day for years. The new HDTV capable Tivos have begun shipping and are sellling out. The device can hold 30 hours of HDTV content on a 250 gigabyte hard-drive with the best PVR user interface in the business. Initial pricing is a steep $999, but expect it to come down to $499 at least in the near future with DirectTV promotions. Initial impressions are positive, although people have differing opinions on picture quality for non-HDTV content. I think will be sticking to my 120 gigabyte for the time being. There simply isn't enough HDTV content to make it worthwhile for me. Read - Read Impressions
