Can you buy an HDD recorder that doesn't require a monthly fee to Tivo or
the like? I just don't like the idea of being beholden to someone for
whatever amount a month.

Yes indeedy. There are many makes and models with regular tuners for
terrestrial and cable transmissions. Just Google on " HDD recorder ". I'm
sure that you will find many in your locality.

Still waiting for a DUAL TUNER HDD that isn't a Tivo.
