Re: I paid $160.00.......

Find me a TiVo w/ firewire inputs and does HD with capabilities for LVM...
I am running older hardware with a bunch of old slow ide disks w/ LVM
rather than the $300 for one sata + cost of enclosure + monthly recurring
cost for cox or tivo for me its the only viable solution.

The cox DVR is limited to the one sata disk u can plug in it :(

TiVo hardware cost? You can get a TiVo for $50 now. The true cost is in
the
monthly payments, not in the hardware.

Also, I've heard that these $160 boxes are quite loud. If you want to use
it
as an entertainment system, you might want to consider getting a new power

supply and maybe new fans and/or heat sinks.
