So there is a Hack for this baby, so I don't had to pay the stupid fee each month?

hey i fully agree with you Bonk that he should pay the service fee and not go some illegal route. and in no way do i mean to flame you or put you down. i just wanna share a lighthearted chuckle i had from this phrase.

"...like everyone else you cheap SOB"

this is too funny to hear in this forum. come on now...who here isn't cheap...

some1 needs to make a way for the tivo to sync with a pc or the internet and then on like http://tv.yahoo.com/
and update automatically the channel guides and what not for free!

This sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. Anyone own one of these?

If you are interested in more space than the 40 hour (without hacking it) and no monthly service fee (limited but useful functionality), try the Toshiba SD-H400 which is an 80 hour TIVO series 2 with free TIVO basic and a built-in DVD player. BB has them for $299 after $100 MIR (here) and they are also eligible for this $50 rebate also (according to TIVO posted rebate). The BB $100 does not require the UPC.

Net cost is $250 AR (plus taxes on $400) and you get component video outputs (not on series 2), digital audio output (series 2), and the option of using TIVO basic for free. Oh, and a progressive scan DVD player in one unit. For the $50 rebate, TIVO says your service must be active for at least 30 days. So you would need to activate the TIVO plus service for at least that long at a cost of $13 per month to get the $50 rebate to work. Who knows, you may want that anyway. Frankly, I think it's better to have the option of limited free service than none one at all.

TIVO basic is basically TIVO without the searches and wishlist. But some say those are the best things about TIVO. More info here. You decide if it's worth it.
