Have had Tivo for years now and could not live without it. Used a phone line for a long time then went WiFi and it downloads and does all communication through my home wireless net.

If you get it, do not pay the bux every month, they have a $200 for the lifetime service of the box and its loads cheaper in the end. I had a Series 2 with 40 hours storage, and last fall just increased its capacity to 180 hours storage.

You do not need the converter box with Tivo but be warned that if its like my cable some of the higher cable channels and all the HD cable channels need the converter box to "allow" them to be tuned. I can get all the normal channels just fine without the converter box and on the Tivo.

This does include Speed for Formula One races. This is why the Tivo was purchased for years ago and now I have expanded its use into daily programs.
