There's not much confirmation of this yet, but a source is telling us that TiVo is planning on releasing a Series 3-like HD recorder some time this fall. Whether this will have dual-tuners like the Series 3 is still unknown, but we're sure it will be gimped in some way in order to maintain interest in the higher-priced model.

Combine this with a vague quote we found from TiVo's CEO back in March, and we've possibly got something brewing. The quote: "We will be highly focused this year on launching a lower-priced, mass appeal High Definition product." – Jason Chen
