Wow, what great info I'm getting from this thread! I've been interested in buying a Tivo for a while now. Could someone answer a couple of my concerns?

1) price. I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE for less than about $300. I'm looking for the regular version, as I have digital cable.

2) subscription. it took me a while to realize you had to subscribe to a service. Which plan do most of you here use? Any "lifers" here?

3) I have no phone jack near the TV. I don't have one anywhere near the TV. Not till the next room! Any ideas?

Thanks!
