In the US, is it required to purchase the 12.XX usd a month service to use a Tivo Box? I don't care about schedules and tv guides...Would just like to be able to recorde a few shows now and then....
Just wondering, as I thought I saw a thread somewhere, but could not figure out the question...


There are a few TiVo devices that include "basic" service for free. I think these are limited to the TiVo's that are integrated with DVD players/recorders.

There are lots of refurb SD-H400 units available on ebay for around $200. This is an 80 hour TiVo with progressive DVD player and includes basic service for free.
