There are ghosts in my machines. I'm convinced of it. Two weeks ago, my trusty 32-inch CRT TV started to fail. The picture would go green, then black and white, and then the death roll. Grrr. Off to Best Buy to start researching what I wanted.
Not two days after that, my TiVo started in with me. The program would just freeze for a few seconds, randomly. No matter if I was watching live TV (although continually buffered) or playing back from the drive. Uh-oh. It was time to start watching all the movies I had archived on it. Was there a conspiracy in my home theater?
Now I have to wonder if Best Buy has a hand in this. They just announced a new special - save $100 on a TiVo HD DVR when you buy an HDTV. Did they sabotage my home theater? I think so!
Keep reading for the details on the deal.
It's surprisingly simple. Pick one of Best Buy's HDTV's and either the TiVo-HD XL Digital Video Recorder or the TiVo-HD Digital Video Recorder, and Best Buy will knock $100 off the total.
Now, here's my dilemma - I have DirecTV. Do I wait for the new integrated DirecTV/TiVo box or jump now? The more important question is can I wait that long? Guess where I'm going to spend my Black Friday. —Leslie Shapiro
