Tivo arguably made one of the largest splashes this year in the DVR market with the release of their Series 3 box. And it was certainly a big splash with their $800 HD-ready (1080i output), cable-ready, 300hr (32 in HD) unit. Billed as the World’s only DVR with THX®-certification, the Series 3 can also manipulate digital photos, Internet radio, and podcasts; you can schedule recordings from the Web; and supports cableCards. One cool feature that is readily visible is the OLED display that stretches across the front of the unit.
The Series3â„¢ supports two CableCARDs so satellite users need not apply. Video is delivered at 1080i over the all-digital HDMI interface and audio over SP/DIF.
