How do these work if you have DirectTV? I have one DVR from them already. Do you just call them and they can add this unit as well or do you have to do something special to get this to work?

This unit does NOT work with DirectTV.

The TiVo HD and Series 3 don't work with satellite.

And site says no longer available for delivery.

If you go to the store, the tag will show 299. Ask the salesperson to key in the sku and it will show 199. Again, this is b&m only.

Just bought one. Sales guy didn't even know it was on sale until I asked him to ring me up. Thanks OP

I wish you could buy them online to get some Cash Back and use a coupon.

Thanks. Still haven't made the jump to HD - I don't like the thought of renting a DVR from Time Warner, I'd rather just have my own box. Not to mention I really like the Series2 TiVo. I'll have to call TW and ask them how much it will cost to switch over to HD and get some cable cards.

Thanks OP. If you have a Sears card, you can get an additional 10% off.

Scored one of two left @ Tustin, CA. Clearance item. Nice not to be an early adopter on these. Now I got a TiVo HD and lifetime for $500 which used to be the MSRP back in the day of just the box. thanks OP

Anyone try the Sears protection plan? For $30 you can call Sears plan and report TiVo (or other products) is broke and Sears will send you gift card of equal price of product in this case $199, salesman said it is to replace product, he also stated they rarely require you to return product, read info and it states Sears may require shipping product back at their cost. Basically he was saying call Product protect after 1 year TiVo coverage is up, report TiVo is broke and Sears will send gift card. They may replace but he said he thought Sears was quitting carrying TiVo thus the price. Need to buy plan at time of purchase but have 30 days to refund.

Another possible option - stay with your non-digital cable. I was under the impression from the description on the TiVo site that you DON'T have to use it w/ HD, regualr old cable will work just fine.

If anyone knows something else, please say so.

Yep, it will work fine with SD. I already have a S2 TiVo so I was thinking if I went for the HD one, I might as well switch over to digital and HD. Decisions decisions..

What do you mean by "lifetime?" TiVo service?


   posted: Feb. 6, 2009 @ 5:23p

Really want to jump on these, but because this doesn't work with On Demand nor SDV (and I think some cable co's are taking away HD channels) I'm going to hold off. At least until the dongle comes out

No monthly payment, 1 payment for service updates for life of the box.

Can you sign up for lifetime service at Sears for $300? Where did you get this price for life-time service?

TIA
