c|net takes a look at the recently released TiVo Series 3 HD PVR. In case you didn’t know, TiVo’s new PVR has two HD tuners, two CableCARD slots, and lots of disk space to record all that HD content. It’s new, it’s cool, and it’s a not-so-cool $800. I dunno. If I could actually use the thing with my digital cable, I’d consider it, even at that price. I currently use a SA8300HD provided by Rogers, and I’m getting tired of its limitations.

But anyway. What did c|net think of the new Series 3 HD PVR? They like the dual tuners, the CableCARD support, the ability to tune into over-the-air (OTA) HD signals (and record them), and of course the famous TiVo interface, which is probably the feature that I wish I had the most.

What didn’t they like? Mostly the cost. Like the the initial price and the on-going monthly fees.

While they give the TiVo a great score of 8.3, they have quite a number of complaints about it. Which is just a little strange.
