Good deal on an HD Tivo [and now a 50" Plasma TV!!]

[Betty]

We've got the same crappy Time Warner HD cable box after our Tivo SD box died. On the one hand, I love having an HD DVR. That's really cool. But I hate hate hate everything else about the box. Same complaints. Slow to respond...we are forever fast forwarding then rewinding then fast forwarding again only to sit through 1/2 a commercial anyway. We'd probably be better off just sitting through them... perhaps I'm on to something with that statment (it's all part of their evil plan?)

I had a hard time trying to justify buying another tivo when TW was basically giving us an HD box. okay - yeah it's a few bucks a month but not several hundred. I called tivo and they said they'd replace it for $75 and I told them no thanks... then they offered one with a bigger hard drive and I was going to go for it... but we got hooked on the HD DVR and tivo isn't going to send us one of those for free.

oh well.

At least I'm not the only one with hate for the TW box.
