perth, the usual culprits are Best Buy and Circuit City. I'd start there and then check tivocommunity.com for the lowdown on the current Internet deals. (I got my DirecTivo unit for $19.95 shipping, including the dish.)

That Guy, I couldn't tell you. I was using the Dishplayer from Dish Net before I got fed up with all the unfixed bugs and toks the DirecTV plunge. If you're specifically set on a Tivo I'd check out tivocommunity.com also and see what Dish customers' experiences are. But you will spend a lot less money if you get a Dish Network PVR-integrated received, so you may want to see how those stack up feature-wise. The Tivo has been around longer and was providing a good customer experience while the Dishplayer was a bug-ridden piece of garbage.... but Dish customers with newer Dish PVR models seem happy with them.
