my girlfriend and i were getting her tire repaired at Sam's after driving around in what is left of New Orleans...

...and all dusty in a corner of the store near the mattresses was a sad, lonely DRT800. for 150$ !!!

it was just the bare unit, no box, remote or cables...but i had lots of that stuff lying around anyway.

WHATTABAHGAIN

LUCKY!

So, let me ask you....

Does your DRT800 have a Firewire port so you can hook-up a Mini-DV Camcorder??

Tivo says it should have one.... I bought the DRT400 and it didn't have one...

Where does the firewire port live on your DRT800?

I don't seem to have one on my DRT400...

VERY disapointed. Got a new 40hr from Tivo Rewards and because of this post realized there is no 1394 port like my 800 has. On Tivo's website they specifically list it as included on the 40hr unit. !!! What a rip.

What's on the left front of the unit, just a blank where the FireWire would be?

I wonder why they left it off, does it cost that much? Seems like, since the same boards are used for the DRT800 and Toshibas that having a different stock of boards without the FW chip and socket would be a complication.

My story is even bettter. I got the 120 hour Toshiba DVD burner unit from Best Buy - it was a return, no cables, no remote, but a manual (woo hoo) for $83. Got the IR blaster from Ebay for 10 bucks, and a new remote for $20 and it has worked great ever since we got it. My second Tivo, so now we can transfer shows, etc. Wife's birthday present and she loves it. Stays full of soap opera and cooking shows, but what the hey? Every now and then I schedule something to burn off to DVD but since it also serves her as a DVD player for her TV, which she did not have, I have killed many birds with one rock and at a steal of a price.

Way to go, me!

Dad
