Also, the 40HR tivo unit is just $19.99 after 100 rebate and 1 yr sign up, is that a good deal in your opinion..whats the monthly service fee? Thanks for all the advice! 1ST POST!!!!That Tivo deal is only 20 dollars less than tivo.com. I mean I know that's actually a 50% savings but now you may not need to stand in line for several hours in the cold to obtain one. Anyway, I think that tv tuners are of better value anyway!! :) I have a Leadtek Winfast PVR Expert. It cost $45 dollars. It installs inside the computer. I can record any show to my hard drive in amazing quality and even transfer the recordings to CD or DVD. There are NO MONTHLY FEES. Just $45 once. There are cheaper ones as well, even HD ones.

Don't do it. Outpost has the same exact model on sale right now for $599.99 - NO REBATES. http://image.ak.outpost.com/art/product/big_shots/4447446.big.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhiteh2 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Wow..thanks for quick replies and good advice. As far as using a pvr card, my only issue would be getting the show from my hdd to my tv. What format does that show record in? If avi, then I could use my modded xbox to watch it. If not how could I get the show to my tv without 35 ft. of coax. cable? As far as the t.v....if I wait in line the t.v. would be $299+tax=$320 plus 14.95X12 months of AOL=$179.40 or $500 and would have to wait for a $200 rebate...so I'd save $100. I might be able to con my sister into paying for the aol as she uses it...and if I got a compusa card with no interest for 90 days, I might get rebate back by then and apply to card... outpost would be $630 after s/h...I'd have to put it out cc at 12% APR...I'm thinking compusa might be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monthly fee for TiVo is $12.95 per month, or you can purchase LIFETIME for $299. If you purchase Lifetime for $299, you don't have the monthly fee, and it is on THAT particular unit for lifetime. (Ex: if you were to sell your TiVo to someone else, that lifetime membership would be theirs now.) It follows the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
