I'm thinkin bout snatching the 26" olevia lcd tv, but dont want to wait in line, any former/current employees (or just gurus) of compusa that could give advice?

 

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.

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

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.
