      <title>180-Hour Tivo HD</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD652160-Digital-Video-Recorder/dp/B000RZDBM2/sprenzycom-20"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin-left: 10px" alt="180-hour Tivo HD" src="http://sprenzy.com/~chuck/2007/08-03/tivo-hd-front.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Tivo is releasing a new &lt;a title="Pre-order at Amazon.com" href="http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD652160-Digital-Video-Recorder/dp/B000RZDBM2/sprenzycom-20" target="_blank"&gt;180-hour Tivo HD&lt;/a&gt; at the end of August. The new Tivo HD offers almost all the same features&amp;nbsp;of the highly praised &lt;a href="http://sprenzy.com/shopping/articles/2006/09/15/tivo-series3-hd-digital-media-recorder-is-it-worth-800"&gt;Tivo Series 3 HD&lt;/a&gt; (S3), but at a more affordable sub $300 price. For the lower price tag, you&amp;#8217;ll have to sacrifice THX certification, a larger hard drive and a back-lit remote control. It&amp;#8217;s not much to give up, considering you&amp;#8217;ll save $300 over the &lt;a title="Tivo Series3 HD at Amazon.com" href="http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD648250B-Series3-Digital-Recorder/dp/B000I661J0/sprenzycom-20" target="_blank"&gt;S3&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and will still be able to record high definition programming.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s a review roundup on the Tivo HD&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pcmag.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=212061,00.asp" target="_blank"&gt;Tivo HD review&lt;/a&gt; from PC Magazine  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,134950-c,tivo/article.html" target="_blank"&gt;Tivo HD review&lt;/a&gt; by PC World  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tivolovers.com/a-review-of-the-tivo-hd-digital-media-recorder/" target="_blank"&gt;A Review of the Tivo HD&lt;/a&gt; by Tivo Lovers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;For less than $300, the 180-hour Tivo HD makes it really compelling to upgrade my series2 Tivo. The primary reason I&amp;#8217;m hesitating is due to the &lt;a title="Tivo price plans" href="https://www3.tivo.com/store/plans.do" target="_blank"&gt;monthly subscription fee&lt;/a&gt;, which is $13 to $17 depending on the commitment time frame. I think I&amp;#8217;ll wait a little longer and hope Tivo offers a product lifetime service transfer to a new Tivo HD.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, if you are currently paying a monthly Tivo fee, upgrading to a &lt;a title="Pre-order at Amazon.com" href="http://www.amazon.com/TiVo-TCD652160-Digital-Video-Recorder/dp/B000RZDBM2/sprenzycom-20" target="_blank"&gt;Tivo HD&lt;/a&gt; is a&amp;nbsp;good deal&amp;nbsp;to be able to record and watch&amp;nbsp;high-definition programming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
