How about a 200-hr TIVO with a lifetime sub ($400 on ebay, $600+
retail), plus any old VCR for archives?

Here's a question for TIVO and TIVOesque owners, especially those who
use it with cable systems.

Does the TIVO impart any digital artifacts? I notice that with my HD
based satellite system, I get some banding on occasion. However, I
can't determine whether or not it's a function of the compression from
the satellite or from compression used by the HD-based system, since
it's never a "direct" signal.
