I like the convenience of a HD video recorder so I can watch the few shows I like to watch when it's convenient for me. We don't have cable or satellite so a show listing subscription isn't worth the cost to us. Is there such a device for under $200? Tivo and ReplayTV won't work without a subscription.

Anyone know if the Archos devices have timers? I didn't see it in the specs.

Someone said I can build such a device out of a PC. Seems like it'll be easier for me to pay the money.

Thanks,
Sixto
