I live in Canada, and it's been announced that TiVos are now 'officially' available here. (Hacked TiVos have been available for a while.)

I've always been keen on them, but I'd be interested in hearing about the pros and cons from others. Some initial comments / questions -

1) The cheapest subscription plan is still $299 for three years. This still strikes me as an expensive way to get the TV listings.

2) I'm sure from time-to-time we'd like to watch TiVoed content on the bedroom TV. What's the cheapest way to do this.

Any other gotchas I should know?

[I know I could build a PC-based PVR, but I get the sense the TIVO UI is more user-friendly (read wife-friendly), and the TIVO is quieter than a PC in the living room.]
