Tipster Todd who works for Best Buy, the TiVo Series 3 might be out of beta soon and is now showing up in their system. According to the computer It is scheduled to be in stock on September 17th with a Best Buy SKU of 7974418 (UPC of 400079744186 and Model TCD648250B). The price is listed at $799, but the street date field is blank. This truly will be a high end product.

is it true this model will finally have external hard drive support with no haks required? SATA would be nice. USB might be easier for adoptees though.

For those that aren't yet familiar (except for us die-hard Tivo fans), this S3 version will only record OTA and QAM cable signals.
It will not be useful for satellite.Whatever doesn't kill me, merely ticks me off. (Never again a Sony consumer.) -
Looking at the picture o fthe back I see two USB ports, Component & HDMI and Digital Audio, and not showing is a whopping big monthly subscription fee.

the unlabelled port is the eSATA port

Cable card ready too. Nice. Too bad I already pay $6 a month for DVR rental. This thing sounds attractive.

Two Cable Card slots.

ROF, I'd bet the monthly Subscription fee to Tivo would make your $6 a month look like a big bargain. $12.95 a month with a 1 year subscription and a $3 year subscription is for a limited time only $299 normal price shows as $399.
That is for a SD Tivo, maybe the HD Tivo will not be higher?
These prices from the Tivo website. I think when I bought the Lifetime Sub for my Phillips Series 1 I bought @ $199 right before it went up to $249.
Your $6 a month sounds good to me compared. to Tivos current prices. -
Tivo's service and current tech is far superior to the DVR cable company provided box I have right now. It is the subscription fees Tivo charges that restricts me from jumping in.
