What our customer's say!

"Can I Give This 10 Stars?", 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!

"Digital Video Recorder", This is the second Tivo recorder I have. Works great! I connected this one to our cablevision and it records all the daytime programs on several channels for my wife and monther-in-law. all they have to do is remember to watch them. it just sits there day after day and does its job. no problems, easy to follow instructions for set-up. 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. jim

"Good Interface, bad company", I bought my Tivo Series 2 about 16 months ago and also paid $300 for a 3 year term of Tivo service. About 2 months ago, the hardware stopped working and I called Tivo. 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. 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. The lesson I've learned from this is to abandon Tivo and just get a PC for video on demand and video recording.

"TiVo", Got this to have at my son's house when I visit. I love it! They love it too! Easily set up, never miss a show again!!

"Does its job well", We have Dish Network but have discontinued most of the regular and local channels ( get OTA HD for locals via antenna). 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. Finally I got a good deal on Amazon ($185 with $150 rebate) and bit the bait. What the heck, it would only cost me $30 plus a year's programming ($129). Well I am hooked. 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. 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. It is fairly easy to do it. I might even consider purchasing lifetime programming if the 1st year goes without a hitch.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"TIVO", I love the easy to use Tivo and remote control.
Wish I had purchsed it years ago!!!!!!!

"Tivo Customer Service is dreadful!", When Tivo is good, it is very, very good - but when it isn't good, there's nothing you can do about it! Tivo often fails to record my shows; the channel changing doesn't work well (even with the unsightly "tenting" of the sensors that Tivo recommends). You settle down to watch that episode of "Lost" you were dying to see only to find that you have a full hour of Home Shopping Network recorded instead! I am now ditching Tivo for my cable company DVR. At least when it goes on the fritz, I'll know who to call and get someone to actually answer the phone, and it's half the monthly fee of Tivo. (Never thought I would tout my local cable company as a model of customer service or thrifty value!)



"Great Product, but not perfect...", I finally switched from ancient antenna to basic cable, so I decided to get a Tivo. I don't watch much television, but there are a few shows I like and figured this would work out perfectly for me and my family. Initial setup was pretty simple and I did not run into any problems until I hooked up the Tivo to my phone line. It would not connect to the server to finish the initialization process. Luckily I was able to move my router to accomodate a network connection which worked fine, however, it did take awhile. Once I got it up and running, it was great being able to schedule all my recordings and use the season pass feature. I also setup my computers with the Tivo desktop to be able to put programs on to my hard-drive for future viewing. I was pretty disappointed to find out I have to spend an additional $25 to upgrade to Tivo desktop plus to be able to convert the videos into .mp4 format. I have not yet upgraded to Tivo Desktop Plus, but probably will, just so I can convert and edit the TV shows that I want. My other complaint is I feel that with all the technology there is, the User Interface is just too slow. Mainly, when I am trying to modify settings on a season pass or startup. Hopefully, on the newer models they will use a little more processing power and get up to date with current pc's. Although, cable and satellite dvr's aren't necessarily any better in these areas. Lastly, it is ridiculous that this model only has an 80gb hard-drive, and to go larger there is a huge jump in price. The base model should start off at a minimum of 120gb, especially with the drop in prices on hard-drives. Other than that, Tivo is everything it claims to be and once you have it you will never want to go back to regular tv again. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about missing a show, and I can pause and rewind live tv. And the best part is fast-forwarding through commercials.

"I love my TiVo", This is the second TiVo DVR I've owned. I really like the dual tuner feature. I prefer using the TiVo DVR to the DVRs my local cable company rents. One of my favorite features is that when you fast forward or rewind, this DVR compensates for that split second it takes from the time you recognize the end of a commercial and the time you release the fast forward feature. TiVo builds in a slight "jump back" feature, which the Comcast's DVRs don't have. I also like the TiVo Desktop software which I've installed onto my home computer. With my home network, I can transfer shows from the DVR to my computer's hard drive.


"TiVo vs. Your cable provider's DVR", I've used multiple DVRs provided by cable providers before, and now I've used TiVo. I've gotta say, TiVo wins, hands down. You pay more for the service, and you have to buy the box (cable companies "loan" you the box), but they make sure it's worth it. They have to, to continue to compete.

One big, BIG plus: Internet content. If you connect to the TiVo service over a broadband internet connection, you can download videos from the internet and watch them directly on your TiVo. Even better, you can transfer your recorded TV programs to your PC using TiVo Desktop.

The show rating system and viewing pattern recognition work really well. I haven't even watched anything of the sort yet, but it recorded an episode of Mysterious Journeys set in a haunted prison. That's just the sort of thing I love (it turned out to be a lame program, but I don't blame TiVo for that). It also recorded the Daily Show, making me realize that I still needed to set up a Season Pass for that show.

Lots of options on how to record shows and how long to keep them, plus great extras like live weather and games make this a worthy purchase.

For added value, you can purchase your service package up to a year in advance, and get a better rate. Plus, you pay once and don't worry about a monthly bill all year.

(IF YOU CAN, BUY REFURBISHED. I DID, FROM AMAZON, SAVING A L-O-T OF MONEY, GOT FREE SHIPPING, AND I FOUND OUT FROM A TIVO TECHNICIAN ON THE PHONE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A BRAND NEW UNIT!)
