TiVo in HD? You bet! And we're so excited about the idea that we couldn't help but get one and find out what it's wearing under that sexy metal hood. In other words, we've got a tech review and it's all about the TiVo.
Look below the cut for the written review from Attack of the Show.

- It's the only THX certified DVR on the market
