Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Megan, a Tivo will work without a subscription. You won't be able to set up season passes, but you can manually schedule recordings.
Yeah, but TiVos are relatively expensive. I have to get a DVD player anyway. I don't get why there isn't a DVD/DVR that you can just set like a VCR.
This is what annoys me about "progress". You used to be able to get TV free. You used to be able to buy something fairly cheap that was easy to set and record. I have specific things I watch, I know what and when they are. I don't need it to be automatic.
Of course, since I'm not sure I can really justify spending $1000 a year for TV and internet, this may all be moot anyway.

Yeah, but TiVos are relatively expensive.
If you don't need HD, you can probably get a used Series 2 off Craigslist for pretty cheap.

megan, I kind of love you right now. Not that I'm not a Tivo lover, but DUDE.

If you could see my TV, you would understand why I'm laughing right now...

oh, you'd have to get an RF converter.
Megan, I'd ask around to friends. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had an old VCR in their garage or a closet that they're not using since they got DVR or Tivo. Hell, if you lived here, I'd give you my old one.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Megan, I have a dvr that has a Hard drive & DVD burner. It is standard definition. I'm getting to be an HD snob, and am considering getting rid of it. It would work for you if you have cable. But not if you are pulling from the air, with the DTV tranition.

I was sort of hoping that TiVo would come out with some new version that my housemate would (naturally) have to have.
