Holiday Gift Ideas 2008: TVs!

Ok, so you just got a TiVo from the last suggestion, but now you’ve got to watch all of that recorded material on something good. No, something great. Something big. Something in a flat-screen: LCD or Plasma!

Both LCDs and Plasmas have come way down in price over the last few years. After all, you can find deals for 42″ screens for well under $1000 now.

We like the 52″ LCD Samsung pictured, but you can get your choice of LCD or Plasma. If you can afford it, then try to get a 1080p TV and heck if you have the room, get something that is at least 37″!

Once you start watching TV using a DVR, you know you can’t go back. It beats watching live TV by oh, at least 1 million miles!

If you’ve got a friends or family who don’t have a DVR (TiVo or built into their cable/satellite box, or a homebrew system or something similar), then this can be a great gift.

Right now TiVo is offering a deal of 3 months FREE with a subscription.

A brand new TiVo Series2â„¢ Dual Tuner DVR is $149.99 or a brand new TiVo HD DVR is $299.99.

If Hulu isn’t filling your old TV-content needs, then YouTube may be your savior. So far, they’ve only got a few shows on tap, but they’re (were) pretty popular – Star Trek (the original series), Beverly Hills 90210 and MacGyver.

This is part of Google’s attempt to better monetize YouTube with some new video ad formats.

Interestingly enough, they’ve disabled embedding, so we can’t even place the video on our site.

TiVo has a new HD DVR box – the HD XL that boasts a capacity of 150 hours (about 1 terabyte (TB)) of High Def recording. The HD XL also sports a tri-tuner that lets you record 2 HD channels while watching a 3rd live.

As far as HD support goes, the XL supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i, as well as native and hybrid modes, and of course HDMI out.

And since you’ll need a TiVo subscription to get the channel guide info, you will get features such as being able to control your TiVo from anywhere on the Net, transfer shows between TiVos on your home network, save shows on your computer, iPod or even your PSP.

This just scratches the surface of the feature set, so be sure to check out the full list.
