There's a virtual cornucopia of information on finding cheap DVD's on the 'net.

First, check out The DVD Talk Forums for listings of cheap DVD's everywhere. My favorite is the thread on Columbia House, and how to purchase 7 DVD's from them for less than $10 each.

Then there's another personal favorite, deepdiscountdvd.com which routinely has the best prices on the 'net - and they challenge you to find cheaper prices, and they'll beat them.

For other bargains, I check TechBargains.Com several times a day. Often they'll have insane bargains you could easily miss. Like the two Handspring Visors I picked up - for free after rebate, I might add - because they were posted on this site.

I like Tech Bargains and FatWallet. They track the deals so you don't have to.

Actually, are you sure about this? What people may not realize is that DirecTV and TiVo are two different services, even if they are housed in the same unit. Last time I check the terms of service on the combined unit, I was told I had to pay for BOTH services individually and independent of each other. The $5 you quoted me was actually for DirecTV service for another DirecTV unit in the same household (that is, DirecTV will send you another subscribed card for that unit), I don't know if TiVo service is included--I certainly doubt it, since, again, DirecTV and TiVo services are from two different entities/companies. I certainly hope I'm wrong, because if I am, then this is definitely a loophole. However, I am forever sceptic and don't think that either company dropped the ball on this one--they would have searched long and hard for any loopholes in their service clauses before they agreed to release the dual unit. It looks like it's all speculation on your part, if you have first-hand knowledge (that is, you have this setup all worked out) please let me know otherwise--it would definitely be an option for me if so. BTW, if you check www.techbargains.com, they list vendors who are selling FREE DirecTV/TiVo dual units--you must agree to something like 6 months or a year of subscribed service.

I know about this one. I bought one.

For those who don't know about the site Techbargains.Com is a cornucopia of deals online. Do a search on Kensington, there's a code that knocks $39 off the price. If it's still valid, that is.

TechBargains.com mentioned availability of this device a couple of days ago. I've found this site to be a good resource; check it out.
