I love my Tivo too, but being a sucker for new gadgets I went for the tenner-a-month option, suspecting that I'd have got the latest, greatest tivo box when it came out. It didn't, so they've probably had 500 quid out of me so far, plus 400 for the tivo originally....

I only have the 5 channels of terrestrial and it records plenty for me to keep up with.

ISTR there are Pioneer(?) combined DVD-Burner/Tivo units in the US, just none in the UK.
