New to Tivo, Which unit to buy

I have had DirecTV for a year and I have decided to get a Tivo unit, but I would like some advice on which unit to buy. I am considering the Hughes HDVR2 from Circuit City for $100. Anyone recommend or discourage against buying this one. Please suggest other units if you don't like the HDVR2. Thanks.

They're no longer all made in the same Mexican factory (and maybe that was just the SA TiVos, I forget) but they're almost exactly the same. I think the RCA units come with a longer warranty, 1 year instead of 90 days.

I can't think of any reason not to get the HDVR2, especially at that price.
