Can tivo record HD? We're this close (holding finger tips really close together) from getting a tivo, but I'm hesitant to buy something that won't record HD, as I'm hoping to be in HD land by next Spring.

I don't think you can make a HD recording with TiVO as it is a copy protected signal (HDCP). Check this post out from board member Bilbo Baggins.

We don't have DirectTV. We'll likely not be getting it either. Though I guess it's always a possibility. I guess I should look into that possibility before making my Tivo decision.

You can only do that w/ HD DirecTivo. I have it and it's a "god-box". I've recorded shows in HD (6' under, Seabiscuit, etc) and the picture is great. I have it running via DVI to my plasma. Your only other HD DVR option currently, is the Dish 921 PVR.
It's got a built in OTA HD tuner so I can record the free OTA HD channels too. Technically, you could by the HD DirecTivo and record HD w/o using DirecTV, but you won't get the guides because you're not a subscriber. It'd be expensive, $900 to $1K though. Then you'd be able record the Hawaii based shows like North Shore (Fox) and Hawaii (NBC) in order to hear actors speak w/ a horribly fake pidgin accent...
BTW: I'm not a tennis fan, but the Open in HD looked VERY good. Even my wife, who's sometimes bewildered by my HT obsession, said that the HD looked incredible.

Tennis in HD on a 62" tv is my dream goal.

I won't be happy until a tennis match is displayed IN my living room in 3D Projected-Holographic Realism.
