I know there's a few Tivo fans on the forum, so I thought I'd pass this along. I just stumbled across a promotion for a $50 Tivo Roamio DVR, along with half price on lifetime service ($249 instead of $499). So for a total of $300 plus tax (free shipping), you get everything you need to ditch your cable DVR or set top box. You can either go cable free and use an antenna, or if you have cable, you can order a cable card, which usually cost $5.00 per month, and get all your cable channels.
The rumor is they are coming out with a new box in a few weeks and just want to blow out their inventory. These units are "factory renewed" if that matters. You can buy a fresh one for $100 more, or just add a three year warranty for $40.
I ordered one for the guest bedroom. For an all in price of $367 including tax and three year warranty, that's hard to beat. I have no set top boxes in my home, so I've saved quite a bit in equipment rental fees by using Tivo exclusively. And I have the stream device which lets me watch my shows on my iPad or iPhone.
All in all, it's still the best DVR solution out there, and for the money, it's quite a deal.
