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.
