TiVo: Now recording two shows at the same time

Well, we’ve loved our TiVo for about 18 months now, but it looks like it’s time to retire the old girl and give her ever-spinning hard drive a well-deserved rest.

There’s a new TiVo in town, and it’s a reason to upgrade.

Available at retail beginning May 1, the TiVo Series2 DT is the first standalone dual tuner DVR with the award-winning TiVo® service and features.

The TiVo Series2 DT DVR is optimized for cable households, allowing you to record two shows at once, so now you never have to miss any of your favorite shows — even if they’re on at the same time. The TiVo Series2 DT DVR also incorporates built-in Ethernet and USB ports, making it easier than ever to add the TiVo box to the home network.

The official press release is estimating a price of $99 after rebate and service activation for an 80 hour model (double our current model’s capacity).

No more having to choose between CSI and My Name is Earl.

(If you don’t own a TiVo, it’s hard to describe how awesome they are. It’s a lot more liberating than just having a VCR automagically recording shows for you. Like high-speed Internet, once you get TiVo, or any other digital video recorder, it’s hard to imagine life without one.)
