ok is tivo any cheaper, these days? because i want TIVO TO GO, that's definitley hot, i just can't figure out why i would pay $13/month when vcr's (or bit torrent) is free
vcr = lame, and too much work
bit torrent = pretty cool, but could get you in trouble. plus takes longer.
tivo = automatic, great interface, pause live tv, etc
$50 nowadays after rebate, but it's still $12.95/mo. although you can still buy a lifetime subscription for $300 i think.
