Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
I haven't played with a TIVO before but at only $7 per month for my cable company supplied DVR it would take over 10 years to make up the cost of a Tivo and the lifetime service.
@Ryan Comparing cable DVR to Tivo is truly an apples to orange comparison. The functionality is limited as if you were playing back something on tape, as opposed to digital media. Next time you fast forward to the middle of a movie, count the time and subtract two seconds. That's how much time you wasted by not having a Tivo, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
