Next Up: TiVo With a Twist

Think TV and recording go together like peanut butter and jelly? Check out a tasty new TiVo combination plate: Humax's latest TiVo box, the DRT 800, which builds in a DVD recorder. With it, you can save 80 hours of TV on the unit's hard drive and burn the best shows to a DVD to save for posterity or to tote along if you must leave the couch. The unit has front AV inputs and a DV input you can use to connect a camcorder and transfer home movies to DVD. Street-priced at $499 (not including a $100 rebate), it requires a monthly fee for TiVo service of $13 for the first box ($7 per box for additional TVs).
