Something cool for $850

Basically it's a wireless backup hard drive Apple announced today for laptop users with Time Machine.

It's not $850, but it's a few hundred anyway...

I'm reading about that now.

I wish they made a DVR which could be used with any cable or satellite service much like the typical VCR/DVD recorders do now.

I think you can get them (at least you could before HD), but then you have to use infrared to get the 2 to communicate with each other. It's a pain, but it works.

I used to have a ReplayTV device hooked up to a DTV box that would have just as easily worked with cable.

I'd want something I could use an HDMI cable with from the cable box to it, then, from it to the TV. It must be it can't sync up the cable/satellite system?

I'd need to record in 1080i.

Not sure whether or not a standalone Tivo will do that with both Comcast and DTV, but it should be possible.

I'm leaning towards a HD TV at the moment. I have a 36" monster that I've had for about 10 years. Thing is, it still looks good and I'd have to get another HD box from Comcast.

I don't $850 will get me much though.

Not sure if you can get these at Best Buy, and to be honest, I think the next generation will be much better, but I'm a gadget geek and this is definitely on my horizon as soon as some of the kinks get worked out... Micro Laptops

My big ol fingers would hit two or three characters on each stroke. :ha:
