Well, as I mentioned in the newer thread on this topic, I believe I'm going to get myself a ReplayTV 5000, although I will be waiting a while (few other things on my mind). I won't jump right into the lifetime subscription on it. In the even that I am somehow disappointed with the unit, it won't be painful to try out TiVo later on.
I started out originally looking for something to replace my VCR. I had been hearing about DVRs and they looked very interesting. And to me, since I didn't feel like ordering a DirecTiVo (the regular ones aren't worth it to me), the ReplayTV just feels like the way to go. That is, of course,
when I make that journey.
