trying to keep everything simple for a non-techie person
they have standard cable plugged straight into their tv (standard def, no cable box)
would like to add dvr service (hopefully without a monthly fee)
netflix streaming of course
while replacing their current dvd/vcr player
if blu-ray isn't possible, just a dvd player is ok
closest I've found is the PS3 with various hacks, but I want something simple and supported (and as cheap as possible of course )
the really bare minimum would just be to leave the existing dvd/vcr, forget blu-ray, and add netflix+dvr.
That can be done with the TiVo Premiere line, but it's so expensive and the ongoing subscription is obnoxious
Are there any better solutions?
