Double plug on the dealdatabase guys - great bunch. I bought a DSR6000 Directivo unit. Wife was skeptical at first - now she is a Tivohaulic. She has Season Passes set up for "Dynasty", "Sisters", "Dr. Phil", and "Knott's Landing". I have the SImpsons, 70s Show, Man Show, and Enterprise. Together, we have ER, 8 simple rules and According to Jim.
We rarely watch commercials and almost never watch live TV. We can cover more shows in less time and watch TV when WE want.
Spent $300 for my DirecTivo - and it was worth every penny.
