Refurbished TiVo Series2 80-Hour 2-Tuner DVR

TiVo.com once again has the factory-refurbished TiVo Series2 80-Hour Dual Tuner Digital Video Recorder (pictured), model no. TCD649080, for $79.99 with free shipping when purchasing a new subscription plan. (Scroll down to find it; it's the 3rd item.) That's $70 less than what TiVo offers for a new, factory-sealed unit and tied with our September mention as the best deal we've seen on this model this year. This dual-tuner box can record two shows at once. TiVo subscriptions start at $12.95 per month for year. A 90-day labor warranty plus 1-year parts warranty apply.

Also available with the purchase of a new subscription plan is the factory-refurbished TiVo HD 20-Hour Dual Tuner Digital Video Recorder, model no. TCD652160, for $199.99 with free shipping. (It's the first item on the page.) That's $100 below what TiVo offers for a new, factory-sealed unit and another price low. This TiVo box can record up to 180 hours of standard definition content, or 20 hours of HD content at up to 720p.
