Two quick hot tips today on the Tivo front.

First, PVRBlog is reporting a deal at Dell that can get you a Tivo Series 3 for only $510.98.   This deal is so good it makes me wish I had HD already.

Second, PVRWire is reporting that you can, in fact, transfer your lifetime subscription from your DirecTivo to the Series 3.  This is important, since until now, people had thought the deal was only good if you transferred the lifetime subscription from a Series 2.

That makes a very sweet package for someone dying to get away from the DirecTivo morass and make a clean break with a Series 3 and Comcast HD.

Since I’m talking about Tivo, a couple other quick picks:

• If you’ve been dying to get video off your Tivo Series 2 or 3, and then use it anywhere, the Tivo2Go crack has made it to Mac OS X.
•  There is a nice review up on the Holiday Gadget Guide on the Weaknees 750GB upgrade for the Tivo Series 3.

A merry Tivo to all, and to all a good night.
