said by Thaler:Dunno, mine shipped with Tivo basic service integrated, though it is a bit more costly than the introductary $100 Tivo they offer. Fortunately though, I get the added benefits of a DVD-R W burner and a 120 GB HD to boot, for the small added investement.
And I use it primarily for that function, a digital VCR. (with TV-Guide built in) The pausing live TV is really nice too, but primarily for show recording/burning.
My brother has that unit and with his satellite service and even cable it changes channels horribly slow.
