TiVo makes HD leap, but at a steep price

Posted on Thursday, September 14, 2006 by MegaZone

When the TiVo aficionado and blogger MegaZone was offered a review unit of the new high-definition TiVo Series3, he didn’t just jump at the chance, he went out and bought a new television to use with it. And not just any TV–he bought a 61-inch, flat-screen HD behemoth.

Heh, yeah, that’s me – I was interviewed via email for the story.

CNET has more coverage:
TiVo releases high-end DVR

And a podcast:
As TiVo rests its hopes on a more expensive high-definition DVD, News.com’s Erica Ogg explains why the company believes it has a good chance of success.

And a solid review:
The imminent arrival of the TiVo Series3 has been one of the worst-kept secrets on the Web. But the box is finally here, and it fulfills almost all of the long-rumored specifications. Equipped with dual CableCard tuners (provided by your local cable company), the Series3 replaces your existing cable box and gives you the ability to record two channels simultaneously–any combination of high-def or standard-definition–from the full range of your digital cable lineup.

Check out the review – and there is a short video with the review as well.
