Retailers Leak New TiVo HD Specs and Price

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tastes-great-less-filling dept.

Brent writes "Retailers goofed and posted most of the specs of the forthcoming TiVo Series 3 Lite, which Ars says may be called 'TiVo HD' at launch. A comparison with the standard Series 3 shows that for a savings of $300, you only lose the OLED screen (do you need a screen on your TiVo?), the glowing remote (which you can pickup for $50 anyway), THX certification (worthless) and 90GB of storage. Looks like it may be a TiVo hacker's dream."

    What exactly makes it a "hacker's dream"?

    Well, hackers are poor and... well... That's Slashdot, you and your reasoning.

    Very nice, albeit still not enough to justify me getting one. Mind you the reason why I haven't is not an issue with the TiVo itself - more of a matter of nothing being on television worth watching anyway. If they add a "unSuck" button you can count me as the first person in line. Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own a Television

    Plus, it uses ReiserFS.

    They didn't say a hacker's dream, they said a TiVo hacker's dream.
