Ok, thanks for your help. I went ahead and ordered an S3. When I'm notified that it has shipped, I'll make an appt. with Time Warner Cable to install the cablecards (I think TW requires that a tech set them up). Should I go through the TiVo guided setup when it arrives or should I wait until after the cablecards are installed? Will the tech be able to install them if TiVo is not set up?

Where should I look for the final word? TiVo removed the 'only from TiVo.com' clause from the agreement very soon after the S3 shipped. They will transfer lifetime to an S3 purchased from any vendor. > Assuming I can purchase discounted S3 and do the transfer, who has the best > deal right now? Deals come and go - I usually use sites like PriceGrabber.com, Froogle, and Shopper.CNet.com to find the best deal of the moment. The lowest I've seen them go is $650, but that was a limited time sale via the TiVoCommunity.com store. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
