The tivo premiere elite dvr has just dropped in price from 499.99 to 399.99. It has 4 tuners builtin and can record up to 300 hours of HD content. It might be possible to replace one’s cable companies box and not have to pay a monthly box fee, also have the capability of recording up to 4 programs simultaneously as well.
