[ralfyguy]

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m curious what you guys think how much the TR-50 will cost.</div>

 

[ajax33]

<div class="bbWrapper">I want to say less than $200</div>

Since they said, they determine the price based on the hard drive, there would be an option hopefully, you could be replacing the hard drive with a bigger one like you can do it on a TiVo.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I say either $399 or $499.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Tivo, for example, takes a big time bath on Tivo HD at $299, and hopes to make it back with subscriptions. This box won&#039;t be as advanced, but won&#039;t have any subcription costs either. I&#039;m guessing around $400.<br /> <br /> To the guys who said $200, good luck. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;d probably consider buying at around $150-200 .. after all it does not do much more than any cheap second hand PC could do with the right software and a decent capture card ... probably be 12 months before it gets to that price though .... Launch I&#039;m thinking $299. I just hope they don&#039;t think they have something worth much more than it actually is. - I suspect that they will price closer to $500-$600 at launch though and i&#039;m sure you will be able to &quot;upgrade&quot; your box to get a full 10 day guide for an extra $5 per month etc etc etc ...</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Common guys......I really want to see this in the $149 range - if not $99 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /><br /> <br /> It&#039;s an OTA tuner box ($40-50) with a hard drive ($50) and whatever Echostar decides to charge for their software ($0-$400)<br /> <br /> That is the real question!</div>

And the next cliff hanger for me. Will it record non-encrypted mode?

[kb7oeb]

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m going to guess $300. Unlike the tivo this box does not have to support cable so they don&#039;t need to pay for the parts for cable card, the cable lab fees and related patent license fees.<br /> <br /> Maybe they will sell the box close to cost and make it up selling pay downloads to the box.</div>

[Mike500]

<div class="bbWrapper">For anything over $300, I&#039;d get a TiVo. Get the Lifetime Subscription and after three to four years, it&#039;s still worth over $400.<br /> <br /> I have a Series 2 and was offered Lifetime for an HD. That&#039;s only for current Lifetime Subscribers on a special promotion, but I&#039;m almost sure that it will be offered again.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m waiting to see if they will support HD with and IR blaster for the DTV converter box with the $40 coupons.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It can only do OTA right??? I don&#039;t think it&#039;s worth more than $200. Hard to say until we can see how the box performs.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">If anyone buys this for over 100.00 they are ignorant, IMO. They are selling the -40 model for 40.00.
