Dvr

Ok, here's what I want.

A DVR with 20/40 hours record time, no phone activation/connection. I just want a recorder and something I can pause/rewind/FF(paused tv obviously) live tv with. I don't want a monthly service and I want it to be less than $100.

I've searched on ebay and froogle and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. And no, I don't want to setup a PC to do it. I want a stand-alone piece of equipment that'll do it.

I have contacted my cable company, but they want $13/mo. for the service plus the hardware rental. I say F them. They won't even have them available here until the end of the month or early next month.

Any suggestions?

anything on this page suit your fancy?

Nope... not what I'm looking for. I guess what I really want is a TiVo system without the service and setup.

ah...good luck, I don't know of anything like that...unless you h4xx0r a Tivo ;)

Well, I've emailed a TiVo dealer and he said that if I get a Series 1 (pre-October 2001 or something), I can use it without the service, like I want. Now I just have to find one. I think I saw one on Ebay for like $80 USD or so.
