I'm tempted by the offer...but if I stay with my current series 2 box I end up paying $155 (12.99 x 12) for the next 1 year of service. If I get the new one with the special offer, I end up with 2 boxes for $337.40 (6.95 x 12 + 254) for the next 1 year of service. Completely replacing my current series 2 with this one doesn't make sense either ($155 vs $254).I only have one tv in my apartment currently so I guess I will just wait and upgrade to the Series 3 when it comes out (hopefully this fall).
I too am waiting for HD and cable card. I HAD two tivo's until I got the DLP. called to cancel the service and the call center person asked why: "no HD, that's it. the second you guys sell a stand alone box capable of HD, I'm back on board." he didn't have anything to say so he just processed the cancelation. I'm sure I would have been subject to more marketing if I had said something like "I just don't like it" or whatever else.mainly, CableCARD will be the biggest upgrade. as I hear it, the cablecard tivos will allow 2 digitalcable, 2 analog cable and two OTA streams all connected and workable at once (although I think only 2 recordable at any one time)
You're only just getting dual tuners now?!?! That's shocking... here in the UK almost all the DVRs are dual tuners and have been for about a year or so now... and the new ones which were released last month have 3 tuners, and they're HD!
@511pfTiVo's HD DVR will be out in the third quarter.Yeah, and it will suppot Netflix movie downloads in HD, ship with Duke Nukem Forever and run the Phantom console games using the latest Microsoft Vista Core available . . .

I'm waiting for Series 3 that will do HD and support CableCard. Until then I'm sticking with my modded Series 1 that has a lifetime sub.

Most cable DVRs record HD and have dual tuners (I've had one for quite some time)....it's TiVo that's lagging.

Wow, another Series 2 box?This Series 3 TiVo is going to turn out to be just as much vaporware as the TivoToGo software for the Mac.
