Remember, today - Monday, April 30th - is the last day to register your TiVo(s) with Amazon Unbox and receive $15 in free credits towards downloads.

And it is also the last day for TiVo's offer of a $500 Series3 with free TiVo WiFi adapter. Or you can opt for a $70 80-hour S2DT or $120 180-hour S2DT, both with the free TiVo WiFi adapter.

Anyone who has a Humax T2500, or a standalone, non-DVD TiVo upgraded with a 250GB drive, I'm looking for the recording capacity at all 4 quality levels - Basic, Medium, High, and Best. Thanks.

I picked this up from zatznotfunny. The FCC has posted a letter received from TiVo which includes some Series3 info. (PDF) There is also mention of TiVo's efforts to encourage the FCC to require cable companies to provide equal access for CableCARD devices as they look at solutions such as Switched Digital Video. An excerpt from TiVo's letter to cable cards ( Read more... )

Spotted the website news via tivotoday.
