It&#8217;s similar in a lot of ways to a TiVo Series3, but it does have some important differences. Based on what we know, here are the differences:<\/p>\n<p>CableCARD slots on the front &#8211; Might make life with a difficult cable installer a bit easier. Since the eject button is something you can see rather than just feel in most cases, this should work better in general.<\/p>\n<p>Composite outputs &#8211; The newer unit has only one set of composite video and L\/R audio out. Probably not an issue for most since the composite doesn&#8217;t carry HD, and if you need secondary audio, it would likely be via optical out. Also, these connectors provide one-way analog signals and can easily be multiplied with a splitter.<\/p>\n<p>Front Digital Display &#8211; The newer unit omits the digital display from the front. This is a pretty nice feature of the original Series3 unit. It shows what shows are recording currently. It also functions as a clock.<\/p>\n<p>THX &#8211; The new unit has no THX certification, and the unit is likely to be louder than the original Series3.<\/p>\n<p>Remote &#8211; The original Series3 TiVo ships with the TiVo Glo backlit, programmable remote. The newer HD unit ships with the standard TiVo remote.<\/p>\n<p>Buttons on the unit: The new HD unit has only a format button on the front, while the TiVo Series 3 has navigation buttons as well.<\/p>\n<p>Full info here on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/cable-hd-dvr-tivo-comparison.php\">TiVo Series3 v.
