I want to purchase my first 'significant' piece of electronic equipment in years. I would like to easily transfer all my VCR tapes--from various formats of video camera, ie digicam format, minidv format, etc. ...to DVDs that I can share with family. I want something with media card slots where I can also copy the digital pictures to the dvd to send and share, and I don't know whether I wuld benefit more from TIVO-just to pause TV right?...or a hard drive...Also, if I go with TIVO what is the most economical way to go...is there a monthly subscriber fee?
