It has been a while, but occasionally people would find ways of getting them for under $100 using rebates, etc..



I have (have had, really) 4 TiVos. 2 were 20hr floor models, one was $112 about 6 months ago and the other $69 2 months ago. I also got a 30hr floor model for $129 2 months ago, and a new-in-box 20hr for $135 6 months ago. The 30hr has been given as a gift (with a lifetime sub) and my own unit also has a lifetime sub. One of the 2 remaining units will be a gift soon, and I'm retaining the other a bit longer to play with before it will likely also become a gift. This was a case where I lucked out, but they are (it seems to me) few.
