It may happen though, since the current DVD models can't be sold after early-2007. At that time all devices with an NTSC tuner need to have an ATSC tuner, and they don't.

This is why I went with Dish Network, More for less. Unfortunately, Comcast’s Basic Cable was over $80 here in my part of NJ (urban markets are always more for whatever reason).

WeaKnees is basically a specialized reseller. They take the standard units and upgrade the drives. They've been doing this for years and have a great reputation. WeaKnees.com and PTVUpgrade.com are the two 'big names' in upgraded TiVo units.There are to be two standard models of S2DT - 80 hours (80GB) and 180 hours (160GB). But it is unclear when the larger units might go on sale. They are the same units from TiVo. WeaKnees is basically a specialized reseller. They take the standard units and upgrade the drives.

I'm curious to people's experience. It looks like the S2DT have the same capabilities as the formal Tivo's ones - is that correct?
