Tivo Series 3 Review, Holiday Gift Guide reveiws

After owning a Series 3 TiVo for a couple months, I sat down to write up my thoughts on it, which I've posted over here. There aren't a lot of surprises: it's a great box but really expensive, making it a difficult decision for even fans of TiVo.

The review is part of Federated Media's (they handle ads here for me) new Holiday Gadget Guide featuring posts from a variety of popular tech blogs, running from today through the end of this year. I'll be posting a new review of a Home Theater/PVR product each week until Christmas.

Next week I'll be covering the Denon AVR-2307CI home theater amp and the iPod integration that goes with it.

I'm excited to see your review of the Denon amp. I just picked one up last week to replace my 6 year old denon.

Have you talked about the programmable remote anywhere? That's actually an important feature for me.

The TiVo remote?

What are "reveiws"? ;-)

At one point they were saying the Series 3 remote was going to be programmable.

Naw, it's only as programmable as other remotes in that you can map the volume button to your A/V unit and the TV power button to your TV.

I would love it if they could have the controls power your DVD player, but that's not an option this time around.
