    This can and should be used by you to post updated deal information.
    Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!
    DEAD

    THIS IS NOT SOME SORT OF MAGIC BOX THAT CAN GET YOU FREE CABLE OR ANYTHING THAT YOU DONT HAVE.... IT SIMPLY ALLOWS YOU TO WATCH/PAUSE/RECORD THE TV SIGNAL YOU ALREADY GET IN YOUR HOUSE!

    Don't forget cashback of 5 - 6% from cashback sites [e bates dot com has 5%]

    Has the QAM enabled WinTV-HVR-950Q according to Nero customer service.

    The package comes with a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q USB tuner [hauppauge.com] ATSC/NTSC/QAM, which alone retails for $70+ [newegg.com]. And it comes with a sweet TiVO remote which costs $50 [tivo.com].
    asleepyman: Also has a IR Blaster and Receiver which you can use to change the channel on your cable set top box.

    You can use the included USB tuner and remote with Windows 7/Vista Media center x86/x64 (Drivers are all available for d/l at the above Hauppauge site), which is way better than the included TiVO software service.

    Supports up to 4 tuners.

    Link to the Nero LiquidTV manual [nero.com]

    1. To use included Liquid TV software requires a Tivo subscription, but comes with one year free. Alternately use other software with tuner.

    2. Bad reviews on amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/Nero-Inc-8027586-Liquid-TV/dp/B001EM5XVO
    ^^^Those bad reviews mostly focus on the terrible TiVO software. Do yourself a favor, don't use it. Use Windows Media Center included with most versions of Windows Vista and 7.

    Tax (CA) is included in the Price. They charged total of $34.99 (Which included tax)
    here2buy: Even though my order process showed extra tax (using AMEX in CA), the order confirmation email shows total of 34.99 including tax
    sreedeals: I used Paypal. In that case seeing other's comments as well I would suggest to use Paypal to avoid extra tax.

    here2buy: Don't use the included software; use the latest from here: http://www.nero.com/enu/downloads-liquidtv-update.php
    If you want to use this with additional tuners (as I plan to do) then check here for compatible tuners/remotes/DVRs etc: http://www.nero.com/enu/support-liquidtv-compatibility.html

    These USB things only work on a computer or can I use it on a media player like the WD one or ps3? Now that would be nice.

    REPPED OP.

    The software has horrible reviews but the TV Tuner, IR Blaster, and remote are worth way more than $35.

    I picked this up from Fry's a few weeks ago for $60. You do not need to use the Nero/Tivo software in order to use the hardware.

    So... 35$ for a years tivo service...? That by itself is a slick deal...

    Whole year for less than 3 months...

    Also, would it be possible to use a vpn like service to use it like a slingbox?

    Just ordered one, Thanks. Does anyone know if you can use the tv tuner and remote on other applications, such as the Media Center in Windows 7?

    Anyone think the service can be applied to a real tivo instead? 35 bucks for a year of service is a steal.

    Thanks, had my eye on this and with the 6" plushie and the cheaper price I jumped (mainly to play with the transceiver / remote for an older MCE box)

    repped.

    I'm sure the TV Tuner will work with other apps. It's a WinTV HVR dongle, which should work regardless. The remote MIGHT work....not sure.

    I wish you could transfer this TiVo service to a standalone box--then I'd grab it right away!

    I don't think so. On one of the Amazon reviews, someone said they couldn't transfer the service.

    I paid around $70 for this about a month ago. Sorry that I did. I've had nothing but problems with this. I wouldn't waste $35 on this knowing what I know.
