The new HD Tivo has been announced at CES and it has got people buzzing.  Imagine seeing Tiger's
beads of sweat on his face, the hole out from the sand trap, or Swing Vision in HD anytime and as many times as you want! Heck, if the TV is big enough,  some people will be reading greens for Sergio.  Previously, direct High Definition Tivo recording have only been a reality for Satellite customers but, the S3 now has a cable card slot. This means Comcast, Time Warner, etc. users can join in on the fun.  And for you sound nuts, the Series 3 Tivo is even THX certified.  It's the Golf Fanatics dream come true.

With Tivo, a person is no longer a slave to their TV.  A person can tape their favorite teams game, golf tournament, or favorite show and then go play 18 when no one else is on the course.  So how else does Tivo change your life?

First, you will probably watch more TV but, that's what the fast forward buttons for.  Second, fighting for the remote may become a thing of the past.  Finally, you may actually find more time to do things around the house.  Right Bob?  Of course this can be both a good and bad thing.  Speaking of bad, here's the cost.

Retail price is $799.99 and a monthly fee of $12.95.  You can find discounts, from various retailers, for the units and pre-pay plans on Tivo's Web site.  Also check out tivo community forums for more info.
