Yes, it was. I did the math and that's why we ended up with the TiVo. It was helped by the discount we got by getting 3 years of service upfront, but it ended up costing us ~$5/month less to go with TiVo and get rid of the Time Warner box. No brainer.

So, any advice on s-video vs. component? Is there a significant enough difference to justify 2 extra cables? Is there any reason a standard RCA cable wouldn't be good enough to carry component signals?
