Apparently, we may not have to wait too much longer for some HDTV TiVo Goodness! According to Dave Zatz, TiVo has sent a letter to both the FCC and the Cable Companies that the TiVo Series 3 with HD and CableCard support are coming and will be available in retail stores soon. He even has an image of the instructions for Cable installers to help them configure the TiVo Series 3 with two CableCards!

While no one has any idea when SOON is, everyone is speculating that it won’t be too far in the future. As far as I’m concerned, the sooner the better — I can’t wait to get rid of my piece of junk Scientific Atlanta 8300HD — the only reason I keep it is to record HDTV and I would definitely rather have a TiVo.

DVArchive, the invaluable companion to any ReplayTV, has finally been updated to version 3.2 and is available for download now at the DVArchive website.

DVArchive Version 3.2 has many bugfixes and new features, including:

• The ability to work with current versions of Java – Finally, DVArchive will work with modern versions of Java! This has been one of the biggest issues I’ve had with DVArchive — having to run two different versions of Java (one old version for DVArchive and one current version for everything else) AND getting the right one to launch when running DVArchive.
• Support for WiRNS (Windows Replay Network Server) – If you run a WiRNS Server on your network for ReplayTV Guide Data, Show Storage, etc. DVArchive will now recognize the WiRNS server and can use it for it’s own TV Guide information. This way, you can be sure that your DVArchive guide will match your ReplayTV Guide.
• Improved Error Messages – Previous versions of DVArchive have been somewhat lacking when it came to error messages to say the least. Now, there are more error messages when DVArchive does things it shouldn’t do (like crashing on startup) and all the error messages have been improved to include more information to help with troubleshooting the problem.

DVArchive version 3.2 includes many other enhancements and fixes, all listed in the changelog included with the download.
