According to a well respected individual over on satelliteguys.us, Comcast may rollout their TiVo DVR as soon as Q4 if not earlier. Also, according to this same individual, the Comcast TiVos will have all the same functionality as a regular TiVo minus the broadband content at first.

Is this just all a rumor or is the Comcast TiVo almost ready to be released? Let me know if anybody knows any more about this. I’m not a Comcast customer however, I think TiVo would really benefit from this partnership.

I just purchased a 42” Panasonic plasma. In just one short week, I am already addicted to HD. I don’t have many HD channels however, the ones that I do have are a pleasure to watch. I find myself watching shows that I never would have watched, simply because it is in HD.

The only problem with this scenario is that the Series 2 TiVo doesn’t allow me to record HD. If I want to record HD content and I don’t want to go with satellite, I really only have one option. This option would require me to cheat on my TiVo and pickup Adelphia’s DVR so that I could record HD. I bet you never thought you would hear me say it but I may need to cheat on my TiVo and pickup an Adelphia DVR just for HD content. I’d hate to do it but if the Series 3 TiVo doesn’t come out soon I might be forced to do it.

Come on TiVo; provide us with an update on the Series 3 TiVo. How much is it going to cost? What will the service plan be like? When is it going to be released? Any type of news might help me to hold off on getting one of those crappy Adelpia boxes. I’m probably one of your biggest fans but I just can’t keep sitting around waiting. I’d hate to do it but I may just have to commit adultery and pick up an Adelphia HD DVR :(.

If you’re having problems with TiVo software version 7.3, you might want to head on over to TiVo’s website and signup for 7.3.1. 7.3.1 is supposed to fix some of the issues that people are having with 7.3. Good luck and let us know if it fixes your problems….

Since I’m on the topic of great deals, I thought I would mention the fact that WeaKnees is offering a $10 coupon if you purchase something from their site using Google checkout.

To save $10,  all you need to do is enter google10 when you checkout.

If you’re in the market for a 80 hr. TiVo, now’s the time to get it. BestBuy & CircuitCity are offering a 80 hr. TiVo for $0 after mail in rebates! If you plan on taking advantage of this offer, you better hurry. BestBuy has two rebates ($70 & $150). The $70 rebate expires on 7/15 & the $150 rebate expires on 7/29. CircuitCity’s two rebates expire on 7/29 ($150) & 7/08 ($69.99). I’ll try and remember to post something closer to these dates just as a reminder.
I wish I was in the market for a 80 hr. TiVo because this is obviously a great deal. I’m really waiting for a Series 3 TiVo otherwise, I would probably pick one up…

Don’t forget if you do decide to take advantage of this offer, you can always put me down as the referrer (raianoat AT gamil DOT com) ;).
