Amazon is selling the series three for 549, and then there's a 200 rebate after that! Given that, I wouldn't bother with the Tivo HD.
If you decide to go that route, be prepared to do some investigations on Cable Cards in the Tivo community. The early adopters experienced some problems where cable installers were not using properly formated cable cards to install, and the Series 3 was having issues with them. That didn't happen to me, but it happened to a number of folks. HOpefully, cable technicians have become more learned. I think it was a matter of them not understanding the technology yet.
