[H] Tivo Series 3 High Def

2006-09-12 Thread Anthony Q. Martin
Have you guys seen these? You'd have to be a real couch potato to shell out $800 for one. I got tempted when they said I could trade in the lifetime sub on my series 1 for a lifetime sub on a series 3 HD for $200. But that "extra" $800 kicked my butt.
