A few months back, I said that if the Series 3 TiVo was $299, I would have argued with myself but eventually bought it.
Well, looks like I may have to look at those words a bit more seriously, in light of some leaked news out of TiVo-land.
If the rumors are true, for $299 you're getting dual HDTV tuners, the big selling point of the TiVo S3. There are a bunch of other minor changes, but that's what it boils down to.
On the other hand, my cable box HDTV recently got its firmware upgraded. Most of the annoying bugs are fixed, and I've learned to deal with the feature gaps between the DVR and the TiVo. Is it worth $299 to close those gaps? Especially when we're talking about saving money? Probably not.
Probably not.
