Can ReplayTV manually record/play without the subscription? What about setting a specific time for recording?
Thanks,
you can only do this in the older models.. this 5040 can't do it.

My order is back to "processing" as well. Sweet!
I have 2 panasonic 3030's that I might just keep now considering there is no manual record on these newer models. I bought my first 3030 for $40 from a coworker, and the second 3030 for $125!. Cheaper than VCRs!
Just to clarify, you can do manual records, you just can't do them without paying the activation fee.

Understood. But the good thing about the older replays is that you can activate it in the USA then give it to people in CAnada as a digital VCR. My friend uses it for this reason because he hates VCR tapes

5040 can't do anything without a subscription. You can't access the unit.
Some customers who recently purchased a ReplayTV 5040 (Factory Renewed)
with Lifetime Service Activation received an email stating that their
order had been cancelled.
This communication was inaccurate and sent in error - YOUR ORDER HAS
NOT BEEN CANCELLED.

So much for Denon "helping" replay.

Does this get channel info from the internet or does it have to be connected to a cable box or something? I am really interested in it but I want to make sure it works with Cox digital in Mesa first.

azjules: The replay gets its channel info through your replay subscription, either over the internet or through the phone line. The replay itself has a little wire that comes out of it with basically a suction cup on one end that you place over the remote-control input on your cable box. Thus, you send commands to the replay, and it transmits commands to your cable box. It supports a TON of cable boxes... I'd say the odds are extremely slim that yours wouldn't be supported.
It's important to remember that REplay uses its own menu system for navigating channels. It may be better or worse than what you have through digital cable now. (It's a lot worse than time warner digital cable's guide.)

I never got the "cancelled" e-mail, even though I used the F&F discount.
My order went from "waiting to process" to "processing".
Then, last night I got the "some of you got the mistaken cancelled" e-mail (I
hadn't). So, of course, today when I check the order status it shows "cancelled".
I'm not going to waste my time placing a new order, if they cancelled it, it was
just not meant to be. Seems like they are pretty screwed up there right now and
I don't want to end up with 2 of them due to their errors.

Same here, my order shows as cancelled, I got the "mistaken cancelled" email, but I never got a "your order is cancelled" email.
