Confirmed in West Allis, WI. They only had one left and it was obviously a floor model/demo unit. 30 days to return it. Will plug it in and check it out. Will look into the rebate once I confirm functionality. I wish they were still running TiVo Rewards and TailorMade from AMEX was still up and running to get more bang for your buck. Those were the days! |

Will the series2 be able to record when everything goes digital in February? OR is buying one now just a waste of money, no matter the deal?

cable is still analog even after mar 2009. only the OTA people will have to buy a digital converter.
TiVo 2 does not have digital tuner so even if you buy today it will not record digital channel. |

gnd These will continue to work with cable boxes as they always have. They were never designed to work as/with ota tuners. Of course, if your cable company goes all digital, you will lose the dual tuner functionality as only one box at a time can be connected/controlled. Since this model was never designed for ota tuning, TiVo will not offer support for the ota converter boxes with this unit, as they will with the other Series 2 units, which do have ota tuners. There are reports that the unit in op(S2DT) can be hacked to work with one/some of the ota boxes by tricking it to believe it is tuning a cable channel lineup. |

I was able to get the $150 rebate from TiVo back in Sept'07. It orignially was denided. I had to call up and play dumb on why it was rejected. CR said we have all the paperwork, I'll overwrite it. I would assume YMMV now as they probably caught on. I bought it the first day it hit the stores and sent in the rebate the next day |

None for me in Rock Hill, SC. I would have liked the cheap upgrade from the single-tuner one. |

rebate was initially denied. 1 quick phone call without having to defend anything cleared it up. |

Dude. Buy the one from TigerDirect for $80 plus shipping, subscribe it for $99 for a year with multiservice discount less the $39 TiVo gift subscription enclosed means $60 for the subscription, get a rebate of $150 from TiVo. If it was not for shipping that would mean make money after rebate for an additional unit to what you already have, with a year's service... you just have to wait a while for your rebate... I am doing this and I already have 4 Tivos... can't turn down the basically-free service that comes this way... can't even use that many tivos but the free service keeps me coming back for more. *L* |

$35 from biglots + $99 - $150 = make money too, but obviously if you can't find one then that doesn't help. I did $35 (TiVo) + $75 ($100 subscription card off eBay) + $300 (lifetime, multiservice) - $150 (rebate) -$100 (subscription card) = $160 About 1-2 years worth of service cost = lifetime service. Sweet deal IMHO. |
