In fact, the only models listed on their web site at the moment are the 80 hour S2 SA, and the 40 hour Humax DVD Recorder. Oh, and they have factory renewed 40 hour units free after instant savings, if you go to the "Web Specials" section rather than the "TiVo Boxes" section. The fact that they don't have the 40 hour units indicates to me that they might be phasing them out, or, at least, not planning on providing them except via retail outlets.

There are countless possible pricing options they *could* offer, but too many options is confusing for buyers and makes the book keeping messier. So you pare it down to just the core options you believe the majority of the market will go for.

Does their new pricing have any effect on those of us who already have TiVo boxes, or will we continue to pay what we've been paying each month? Sorry, I’m still confused.
