I was all set to buy the Xbox HD DVD player with the 6 free movies today on Amazon. But as luck would have it, yesterday was the last day of the sale and the price has gone up $50 overnight. They have this sale periodically so hopefully I’ll be able to snap it up nex time.
Our HD TiVo came in the mail today! Casey’s already got it all hooked up and its downloading program information right now. We still haven’t contacted Comcast about the digital cable and cable cards we’ll be needing but will probably do that some time this afternoon. My dad also got one of the HD TiVo’s and when he went down to the Comcast office to pick up cable cards for his as they told him he could over the 800 number, he found out that he has to pay them $15 a card (he needs two) for the technician to come out and install them. Such a rip off! I’m not looking forward to the increased cable bill but am pretty excited that we’ll be able to record two shows at once now *and* actually a third show since we have our old TiVo we’ll be hooking up in our bedroom once we get that new TV.
