So we were trying to set up a keyword wishlist on our TiVo to catch as much of the olympics as we could. It became apparent that several of our favorite shows refuse to have the good graces to stop airing new content while the Olympics are running, so, even with 2 tuners, we were running into a LOT of conflicts.

Then it hit me...it costs all of $10 extra per month to get Time Warner's HD DVR. Hell, that's a fraction of the cost of triple-cast, it's in HD, and replayable whenever I want. And if I understand everything correctly, there's no fee to get it and no penalty to just return it at any time. So if we just do that, problem solved (assuming I'm right about no fees or penalties, and I'm pretty sure I am).

Now, the real question is whether we'll be able to resist just keeping the extra DVR, especially since it's HD (though if it's as sucky as the last Time Warner DVR we had, it'll be easier to send it back).
