Remember our unconfirmed Tivo Series 3 Lite pics from last week? Maybe they’re real, maybe they’re not, but someone in the Tivo Community forums is claiming to know TiVo Series Lite 3 specs. They’re almost unbelievably similar to the powerful Series 3’s specs, but I know you can’t resist even fake Tivo specs, so here they are.

– BCM740x DVR CPU w/ integrated MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoders – 1x dual MPEG-2 encoder (BCM7041 or possibly an encoder from LSI) – 2x Samsung S5H1411-based tuners (analog/QAM/8VSB) – 128Mb DDR SDRAM – 160Gb SATA HD – Smaller, lower-cost PCB – Cheaper power supply – No THX certification – No OLED display – Standard Tivo remote – $299 MSRP
I wouldn’t bet one way or another on these being real. But, the quoted model number shows up on Google, while many of the result pages go blank. Strange indeed. [TiVo Community via Engadget]
