I have Comcast Cable box, TIVO series2, and VCR. Yeasterday I bought 50" Maxent HD monitor(2composite s-video inputs/2component video inputs/audio output/RGB input/2Digital HDMI input/RS-232 connector). I know TIVO series2 does NOT work for HDTV. However, I do not want to spend $700 for series3. I just liked TIVO service that I can stock so many program in hard disk, and want to delete anytime. I also liked I can record program in the future. Is there cheaper DVR or anything like TIVO does? My budget is around $300 to $399 I want to spend. Please!!

nope, Tivo is probably the cheapest unless you get the DVR from your cable operator. the new cable boxes from your cable provider will (should ) do HD. ask them, and they will probably give you the better HD box.

Comcast has HD for $5/month and DVR for $5/month. The DVR doesn't store as much as the Tivo and you cannot transfer files over to your computer, but you can output through HDMI and you can record HD.
Those are your only choices Comcast or Tivo. I dropped Tivo Series2 for Comcast because I wanted higher quality video and HD.
