We’ve all been waiting for this one.

TiVo has finally released a 180-hour HD DVR for cable users. Priced at $299, this new box can hold up to 20 hours of HD recordings (up to 180 hours in SD) and it comes with two HD tuners. Like other TiVo boxes, this one includes the great and easy-to-use TiVo interface and functionality including online scheduling. This box supports analog and HDTV signal through an over-the-air antenna or through your cable provider (two CableCARD slots included for decoding from your cable company). Video output is available in 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i.

The bad news is that you’ll still need to buy a TiVo service plan which, depending on length of contract, costs $12.95 to $16.95 per month (or $179 to $299 annually).

TiVo has brought back its free box sale. This time, you can receive a free factory-renewed (AKA refurbished) 80-hour TiVo Series2 box for free when you you sign up for one year of TiVo service at $12.95. This deal includes free shipping and ends when they exhaust through the limited supply of boxes.

It was our first Thanksgiving together and if you’re like us and you chose to shop online (rather than get trampled at 5AM in front of your favorite big box store) then you learned that:

• Just in time for the holidays, Google Checkout coupons are back
• The best TiVo is a free free TiVo
• Why buy the same old gifts when you can but something really unique?
• You will need a bigger bag to carry all those gifts back home
• The only thing that can bring down Amazon.com is a $100 Xbox

TiVo‘s holiday promotion focuses on bundling a $199 TiVo Service Gift Card (which is equivalent to 1 year of TiVo service) with DVRs at a reduced price. As a result, for $199 you can buy a gift card for 1-year service and you will receive a free 80-hour TiVo Series2 DVR. If you want a better TiVo DVR, check out the table below indicating what you can get and for how much.

• $199 — 80-hour TiVo Series2 DVR and $199 TiVo Service Gift Card
• $268 — 80-hour TiVo Series2 Dual Tuner DVR and $199 TiVo Service Gift Card
• $368 — 180-hour TiVo Series2 Dual Tuner DVR and $199 TiVo Service Gift Card

When it comes to TiVo, I’m already a lost cause. It’s not only part of my TV, but part of my life. I can’t remember what it was like before I could pause TV or know that everything I want to watch or TiVo thinks I should watch is being recorded for me.
