The one thing that I absolutely love about Tivo is the UI. The HD-DVR that the cable company stuck me with just plain out sucks! If you ever used Tivo you know how easy, user friendly, and just out right smarter than anything out there. But the only problem is that Tivo's Series 3 HD-DVR came out at an insane $799, which priced it's self right out of the market, especially when you could rent a HD-DVR for $10 a month from the cable company (no matter how bad it sucks).
So Tivo decided to lower the price to $499, which was a step in the right direction but still up there. The CEO of Tivo Tom Rogers agreed, and now Tivo's new Series 3 Lite has come out at a more reasonable $299. The TS3L has a 160GB HDD compared to the 250GB from the TS3, and it doesn't have the OLED display or THX certification, and they left out the nifty remote controller.
Sounds fair for the price. No word on the availability, but it should be soon.
Hit the jump for more of the deetz. [ARS Technica via Crunchgear]

I know this is WAY late to respond; but can anyone answer if on any of these devices you can pop out their hard drives and and simply pop in way larger hard drives? If so, are their formatting issues?
