TiVo Antennae Giveaway

I don’t know if my TiVo really gets me (I’m so misunderstood), but if your TiVo does and you’d like to frighten your spouse or children with a pair of funky antennae just leave a comment. I’ll randomly pick a winner tomorrow.

Deal of the Day: eSATA Drives

Want to upgrade your TiVo Series3 with external storage? Me too. After a failed journey Micro Center yesterday, I started researching online deals for eSATA drives. In addition to finding a good price, my criteria also included 500GB drives that come enclosed and with an eSATA cable. So far I’ve found two decent deals worth … Read more

Deal of the Day: Slingbox Classic @ $70

I just received word that Woot is blowing out refurbished Slingbox Classics for a low $70. As with all Woot deals, this is one day only and while supplies last. To answer the obvious question: A primary difference between the Classic and the current lineup is resolution. The new boxes broadcast at higher resolutions up … Read more

Need a Joost Invite?

Joost is up to v0.9.4 now (Mac & PC) and I’ve got another 5 invites to giveaway. It seems like I’m supposed to make you work for these, but let’s do it on the honor system: Tell your buddies about ZNF, check out some older posts, visit some of my advertisers… you know, things you … Read more

Deal of the Day: TiVo Series3 @ $500

Tired of waiting for that Comcast Motorola TiVo? Get a TiVo Series3 plus wireless adapter for $500… Direct from TiVo without rebates. $500 is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen and a whole lot more palatable than the $800 MSRP. Too late for Sascha to reconsider? (via Gizmodo)

Deal of the Day: Half Price Harmony 880

Amazon has the Harmony 880 on sale for $155.49 plus a $30 rebate good through 1/29. The 880 retails for $250. Instead of macros, Harmony remotes group related functions into activities. For example: Hit ‘Play DVD’ and Harmony will turn on the TV, set it to the proper input, and power up the DVD player. The 880 has a color screen and internal rechargeable battery with docking cradle. As with all Harmony remotes, the 880 has access to a huge database of devices — before we moved, we had 6xx models controlling our Lutron lights and projector, in addition to the standard stuff. I currently use the 880 in the den to operate my TiVo Series3 and Xbox 360. Download network icons at Squareworld to setup soft keys for your favorite channels.
