There are other options...you can find Tivos on Ebay that have a lifetime membership on them. With that, you don't need to pay to use it. Not sure about the current ones, but older Tivos you *could* use as a standalone recorder and not have to pay for the Tivo membership. You also can buy stand-alone DVD recorders that basically act like a Tivo. Maybe not as fancy in terms of features, but still allow you to record TV and play back later. And there's always a Media PC as well... just all depends on how cheap you want to go. If I wanted to go pretty cheap, I probably would try to find an old Tivo with the lifetime subscription on it. But even that will probably run you a couple hundred dollars....and you never know how long before it would fail. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
