Tivo series 3 DVR
August 28th, 2006
Tivo is pretty much synonymous with DVR. Many people just assume that a DVR is a Tivo. I frankly do not realize what the difference is between a regular DVR and a Tivo. I guess, by same token, I do not understand why someone would pay a monthly subscription fee to Tivo. Having said that; more details are surfacing about the new DVR from Tivo. The one detail that should jump is the MSRP. It is believed to be $799. Thats right; the new HD Tivo will cost more than some HD TVs. I don’t know what Tivo is thinking!!

I guess I don’t understand why someone would pay $800 for a Tivo when I get my DVR from Comcast for $5/month.

When I was younger I lived in Korea. No hot water or central heat. My wife and I would wake up in the morning to ice on the windows and fight to see who would get out of bed and turn on the space heater. I usually lost. I thought of it as an adventure. Now I’m not as adventurous. I like my comforts. Back then I might have agreed with you. I wouldn’t have minded having less functionality, poorer performance and a terrible interface. Now that I can afford something that works well and makes my life easier and more enjoyable I don’t mind paying for it.

P.S. I currently have two TiVos and a Comcast DVR.
