I am super hyped for the Series 3 Tivo. I didn't know the CableCard was an FCC mandate so that's a huge relief. Series 3 looks like a dream. I didn't know it was going to be so nice!

This unit looks like they got it right (is that possible on a first try?). It has all the stuff I would want for SDTV and HDTV. Hope they keep the price reasonable too. The one thing I didn't like was the lack of any inputs other than cable. This box wouldn't work with a Directv set-top box, so if one decides to switch from cable to Directv, then a new DirecTivo is a must. Now, waht about pricing and availability?
