is this worth buying?
As I get more and more involved working on TV and Film, and still on Music, there are more shows and TV movies that I need to watch but I have less time... I though maybe I get this crap and see if its any good... any suggestions?
There is another one real cool that comes with DVD burner but its double the price of the regular one... as its plugged in in the computer, can I still burn DVDs putting the stuff in the computer first?
any feedback appreciated thanks

I think Tivo is the best thing since sliced bread... it can do lots of cool stuff that any TV buff will be thankful for in the long run... pause live TV, record your favorite shows automatically, etc... it needs a phone line to get television listings, and it requires a subscription, but i reccommend getting the lifetime subscription, which will pay for itself in less than 2 years. You can also get bigger hard drives for it (instructions all over the net), and you can output your shows to tape, complete with slates... overall an awesome device... if you can afford it.
Hmm... thanks guys, I'm getting it!
how much is it per month? do u still have to pay for a regular cable subscription? hbo, showtime included?

It is separate from cable. I use mine with my digital cable, which I pay separately for. My fee is $12.95 per month. It probably is wiser to pay the lifetime fee, but for me, a little bit at a time hurts less, plus I have this feeling that there will be newer, bigger, better TiVo to get by the time the lifetime fee pays for itself.
A lot of times, though, you can get a really good deal if you sign up for DirecTV and get your TiVo at the same time. I don't do satellite and didn't want the complication of that, but it's worth looking into. You get many more channels that way. I find I already have too many just with the cable, though. :)
just got it and will install :)
