Tivo has released its Series 3 Tivo at a whopping $799. I have been waiting for this to come out instead of jumping on the Series 2 bandwagon since I am looking to upgrade to an HDTV at some point in the near (for some unspecified value of near) future. Unfortunately, the cards are not playing in my favor. To get HD, your cable provider must support CableCARD. Guess who has no plans to support CableCARD? That’s right, Knology. So, if I ever want HD, I will probably have to jump ship and go with something like DirectTV or Dish Networks. At that point, a Series 3 will do me no good, since the Series 3 Tivo does not support satellite.

Ouch. sorry to hear that dude. Yeah I was reading up on series 3 and checking out the cost of HD here on coast. Probably not going get it until next year. I love going over to cousin’s house on game day who has HD.
Isn’t it just a kick in the pants how a metropolitan area that put men on the freakin’ Moon can’t get significant HDTV penetration or more than simple pedestrian broadband? I see what San Francisco gets for broadband at prices cheaper than here and … weep.
Our rockets are still bigger than their rockets, though.
