I love my TiVos, they are great for what they do, but TiVo screwed up badly when they left the OTA tuner out of the latest stand alone version of their SD boxes and when my older 240 model died, BB could not fix or replace it with the identical model so I had to settle for a cable tuner model with one set of composite/s-video inputs seriously limiting the flexibility of the SD box.

I use it with a digital converter box now, but even an SD digital tuner would have been nice.

Classic shooting yourself in the foot.
