Comment Toshiba SD-H400 DVD/CD player + 80GB TiVo(R) Serie (Score 1) 743
The Toshiba SD-H400 unit has Tivo Basic service which is free. And can be found from PriceGrabber.com for as little as $397.50. Here's some details from Crutchfield:
It combines a full-featured progressive-scan DVD player and a TiVo Series2 hard disk recorder with 80-hour capacity! Toshiba has been a leader in DVD technology from the start, and the SD-H400 delivers superb DVD picture and sound. In fact, if you own an HD-capable TV, you can enjoy an ultra-clean progressive-scan signal through the component video output for both DVD and TiVo playback!
The SD-H400 is the first device to include built-in TiVo Basic(TM) Service -- now you can enjoy basic TiVo features right out of the box, with no subscription fees! TiVo Basic lets you pause, rewind, and create instant replays of live TV, and record shows by channel and time using the built-in 3-day electronic program guide. At any time, you can upgrade to full TiVo functionality (14-day program guide, Season Pass(TM) automated recording, Search by Title, WishList(TM), etc.) by subscribing to TiVo Plus(TM) Service.
But wait, there's more! In addition to full-featured DVD playback and upgradeable TiVo DVR capabilities, the SD-H400 is capable of incorporating TiVo's Home Media Option(TM) feature package, which opens the door to cool networked home A/V entertainment possibilities. The Home Media Option is a software upgrade you can download from TiVo via a dial-up or broadband Internet connection. It turns the SD-H400 into a full-fledged digital media server that connects via USB port to your wired or wireless home network and PC. (A USB network adapter is required.) Purchasing the Home Media Option adds these features:
-streaming of MP3 files from a PC or Mac for playback through your TV or home A/V system
-the ability to view digital photos on your TV
-remote scheduling of recordings to the SD-H400 from any location with Internet access
-the ability to connect to another TiVo Series2 DVR elsewhere in your home for program-sharing between the two units
