I will not go into great detail as many reviews already have it down pat.TiVo is AWESOME. You can setup recording to catch any episode or only set it to record the new episodes that are airing for the first time.You can even hook it up to the internet and put your shows on your laptop / ipod and watch them on the go.I give TiVo 10 out of 5 stars.You will not be disappointed.
it just sits there day after day and does its job. all they have to do is remember to watch them. no problems, easy to follow instructions for set-up. This is the second Tivo recorder I have. I connected this one to our cablevision and it records all the daytime programs on several channels for my wife and monther-in-law. This thing will do a lot more than i will ever need it to do, like send recorded programs to another unit.but its worth the money just for recording two shows at one time. Works great. jim
They told me that the warranty had expired and that I was on my on to buy a new one (no discounted replacement). So I bought a second series 2 at full price, and then recently found out that it is not supported by the NetFlix movies on demand service. I bought my Tivo Series 2 about 16 months ago and also paid $300 for a 3 year term of Tivo service. Tivo told me that I could upgrade to a Tivo HD but, again, I would have to do this at full price. So the bottom line is that Tivo doesn't provide any discounted upgrade options for customers. About 2 months ago, the hardware stopped working and I called Tivo. The lesson I've learned from this is to abandon Tivo and just get a PC for video on demand and video recording.
I love it. They love it too. Got this to have at my son's house when I visit. Easily set up, never miss a show again.
What the heck, it would only cost me $30 plus a year's programming ($129). Sometimes a different program records but it may be due to Dish switching the programming in the last minute.If the disk gets full often I will buy a larger 500 G disk and replace it. Well I am hooked. It is fairly easy to do it. My wife, who was very skeptical of it ( based on my previous attempts) was pleasantly surprised to see that it was so easy to program and watch events. The picture quality is very good. We have Dish Network but have discontinued most of the regular and local channels ( get OTA HD for locals via antenna).
Finally I got a good deal on Amazon ($185 with $150 rebate) and bit the bait. I just subscribe to 2 international channels which are a must for my family. After building a computer PVR and loading Sage TV software I found out that it was very user unfriendly. I might even consider purchasing lifetime programming if the 1st year goes without a hitch.
