"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Don the HR10-250 is just the TIVO interface the receiver is I am correct is made by either Hughes or RCA. RCA actually makes one of the HR20s in the market, the HR20-100. If you want to stay in the past, be my guest. I have had both the HR10-250 and HR20-100 and yes it was a little painful but I have a 1 tb drive on my HR20 and I have hundreds of hours of HD recorded and at my disposal plus the upcoming VOD product for Directv. Yes you feel disinfranchised but get over it.
