Toshiba's new Digital Media Servers

Toshiba announced new products today, including two TiVo based DVD recorders, in 120Gb ($599) and 160Gb ($699) sizes. They're set for an August release and will be the only competitor to Pioneer's line of DVD recording TiVo boxes, which have gotten rave reviews. The Toshiba units also include a DV plug on the front, to make it easy to convert digital camcorder video directly to DVD.

Nice! And with that MSRP there should be some price pressure on Pioneer to drop the price on their 810H.

Also, remember Humax has also said they will have a TiVo DVD-R unit out in the fall.

I wonder if it's going to have some abiility to edit the shows so they'll fit on a DVD. I think the Pioneer Tivo-DVDR had an issue with this.

Any sign of a TIVO / PVR that can record HD (or at least compressed HD)?
