After what was probably not enough deliberation, I bought myself a series 3 tivo on Sunday. From the tivocommunity forums, I knew there was some chance of finding one at the Fry’s store off of Brokaw in San Jose. I’d tried the Sunnyvale and Campbell Fry’s stores on Friday, but couldn’t find any at either location. I’d never been to the one off of Brokaw before, but I can’t say that it’s a lot different than any of the others. I’d probably order them (from good to crappy) Sunnyvale, San Jose, Campbell, Palo Alto. Anyway, I went straight to the back of the store and found what looked like the last one that was in stock. I had been tempted to order online from tivo.com and give them the extra profit on the sale, but I read that tivo seems to be having a lot of trouble filling demand for orders placed on their own website. Unfortunately, I can’t experience any HD with the tivo until I schedule a comcast appointment to install the cable cards in the tivo. For anyone interested, I’ll probably post again once I’ve had a chance to play with it.
