TiVo and DVD for $200

[Bebop]

Bestbuy is getting rid of their Toshiba SD-H400 DVD/Tivo 80 hours for $200. It comes with the Tivo basic, which means you don't have to pay the subscription fee to run it.

this box I believe is fully hackable using the Monte method as well... meaning you can use free Tivo basic service on hundreds of hours of recording space...

[Bebop]

Could you expand on the Monte method? I'm interested.

Please bare in mind that this is not a Tivo with a DVD recorder, just a TiVo and DVD player combined.

But I am sure you knew that!

I just wanted to make sure though.

Also be aware that many people (though not all) including myself have seen "flickering" or brightness modulation on recordings on these units.  It's a sweet DVD player, and the TiVo basic is a big plus, but I'm in the process of trying to get a replacement for mine 'cause of the flickering and not having a lot of luck so they may be disco'ed.

No flickering on mine. My output is component.
