TiVo is serious about increasing their subscriber base. Their latest efforts with Humax USA definitely helps to drive this point home for TV fans everywhere. With a price tag of $499, the DRT800 DVD will provide consumers with both the flexibility of a TiVo along with the stability of a DVD Burner.
As expected, Humax, a licensee of TiVo’s digital video recorder (DVR) technology, announced Thursday the availability of a combination DVR and DVD burner product, called the DRT800 DVD, for $499. The company is offering a $100 rebate on the box, which can also play DVD discs.
The combination DVR and DVD box allows consumers to record TV programming and then burn it to DVD-R or DVD-RW discs. Humax’s DRT800 can record up to 80 hours on its hard drive. TiVo’s design for these combination systems limits users to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
