While we have a special place in our heart for Tivo, their hardware is seriously about as old as Betty White's first set of dentures. But that has all changed as the inventors of the DVR have dropped Series 4 on us in the form of the Premiere and Premiere XL. The XL has a built-in 1-terabyte HDD for storing up to 150 hours of HD video or 1350 hours of the SD stuff. It's even THX-certified, which means you're assured high-quality sound and video out of it. The whole interface has been revamped for HDTVs, which means you'll have a lot more info on screen. Plus, the new web search function lets you track down media and info without running to your laptop. They start shipping in early April, but you can pre-order the XL right now for $499.
