DirecTivo deals

[herzog@uhhh.org]

Looks like you can get a Hughes HDVR2 $199 shipped if you tell them you
are a "TiVo Community Forum" member (for existing DirecTV customers).

Haven't been able to find a better deal than this...

Plus free installation plus only $4.99 per month for the Tivo subscription. I
only wish they offered units with larger hard drives.

Well, that sucks. And here I thought I was getting a good deal.


Sooo...

It seems there are two competing points of view in regards to additional
hard drives in TiVos. Weaknees strong suggests an additional fan (as well
as a replacement fan) and a modded power cord to stagger the spin up of
the drives. 9thtee says this is all unnecessary. What do you guys think?

tivocommunity.com right now. Never fails.

Cool DIRECTV DVR with TiVo for $159

With tax it came to just under $200. I ordered one and so did a friend
of mine we both got the Hughes HDVR2 a few people claim that you MAY get
an older model but, I didn't and neither did a friend of mine. I
ordered mine end of April and got it in less then a week. My friend
ordered his week before last and got it last week.


Ends Monday though so if you want it act fast.

My friend saw this on the Tivo Community.....
