HA! TIVO sales has chat.

Full price TIVO Premier box (they don't sell series 3 anymore) for $299 and $200 off the $299 Lifetime ($199) for a total of $500.

That doesn't seem like a good deal.

~~Or I could find a series 3 box somewhere like Best Buy or Amazon and get lifetime for $299 with my 'multi-service discount' + the cost of a box.~~ or not. I didn't look hard but they aren't much cheaper than the Premier. Which would also meet my wanting to watch Hulu and YouTube on the TV.

So I need another $500. Money tree anyone?

I read somewhere that Hulu might start charging for viewing. I can't find the article though so you'll just have to (or not) take my word for it.

Having said that, and all of the other technical stuff aside, I just got a Samsung 32" and am very happy with it (it was the largest size that would fit in my armoir, which I'm unwilling to ditch for a giant tv).

On another note, I have my cable company's dvr (time-warner) and am relatively happy with it...what would tivo give me that this, combined with a dvd and xbox live (so streaming netflix) don't?
