Since you got in on this early, did your confirmation email say "backordered"?
I don't know if everybody is getting this because they're not available until the 29th and Sonic Blue is just calling that "backordered", or if only the latecomers are getting the "Backordered" emails because the inventory is low/out

do you guys think this one is better than the tivo hdr112. I finally talked my dad into purchasing one of these, so I was wondering which one to get. I think we are leaning towards the replaytv one. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yeah, that thick wallet site has a friends and family link for 15% off, if it's good on the refurbs... people have posted that it let them place the order at the discounted rate.
I was able to get the main page again about 10 minutes ago, but couldn't follow any links without losing the site.
probably gonna regret it though, i don't need it.

i couldn't take the pressure.... broke down and bought one.
the 15% extra off put me over the edge, $292 after tax and delivery. :Q

Monthly or Lifetime sub?
I have been on the fence about getting a RTV, looking for best price, better way of watching TV etc but one thing that I havent resolved is monthly at $10\mth or bite the bullet & go $250\lifetime. Months ago the question was will RTV die with Ch11 or not. Looks like not, but still the question $10 vs $250......

Chronologically sequenced Order #s have gone from the 399,000 range on Sat to 440,000+ today. And while the guy from ReplayTV's customer care department (who posts on AVS and has appeared on FW) points out that the website also sells rios and activations, I'd guess a good hunk of those 40,000+ orders in the last couple days were for the Replay. And if people are ordering more than one unit (as some are) that would play a part as well.
We'll see what happens.

Kruseman: You'll probably get biased opinions in this thread, since we all bought ReplayTV's and want to feel good about spending all that $$. This is a great site for comparing the features:

The truth is neither is perfect, and each has some features that the other really should have. I'm a replay fan. You can PM me with any questions.

Note that the above comparison doesn't compare Replay's newest software. 5.0 was just released to 5k units.
When the CSR picked up, I asked him why my order was cancelled and was told that it was because the F&F discount was applied onto the order and that was not allowed. I told him that I reordered the units and, "given the number of orders that have gone through, will we be getting the units or will the order be cancelled?". His response was "no, we will not cancel the order and you'll receive the units. We'll be manufacturing them and shipping them out after the 29th".

There's been no general cancellation of F&F orders. If you told that, you were given incorrect information. Orders that fail the automated or manual fraud check, get cancelled. That's it. So, if your order was cancelled, call in and place an order or double check the billing address and credit card information. It's very easy for their to be a typo in the information you enetered.
And, while there's been a lot of speculation that we sold out, don't let that speculation stop you from placing orders.
Orders will ship in two week window:
May 30th - June 13th via UPS Ground Only! Rebates are not valid for this unit.

Lifetime Service = This unit only!
When this unit dies and if you buy another one I believe you have to pay the $250 again or the monthly fee. If I'm wrong please point me to where it states otherwise. Thanks
