A VCR Anyone Can Program - and It Doesn't Need Cassettes

bygamblin_man Jan 20, 2009
39 Helpfuls 40 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Easy programming
Cons Ongoing expense
Recommended it? Yes

It seems like Video Cassette Recorders have been around forever. They have been around long enough that the difficulty of setting them up to automatically record a program for what has become known as "time-shifting" has entered legendary status. The somewhat fragile cassettes necessary with these... Read full review »

TiVo HD: Great promise. Bad Execution.

Pros 2 week program guide, easy recording and season pass, HD viewing and recording, sleek...
Cons Slooow interface, instabilities, loooong reboot, subscription required for basic function
Recommended it? No

Alright, this year Santa brought TiVo to our house and after 2 months of usage the feelings are mixed towards this new companion. It does pretty much everything it claims to be, but there is enough room for improvement that keeps us from getting all too excited at this point.

TiVo HD Digital Video Recorder: Good DVR with a Few Flaws

bynoangels Feb 12, 2009
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Record two shows at once, fast forward commercials, never miss shows, stream netflix,...
Cons Slow start-up, slow interface, no built-in wireless, needs cable cards for some
Recommended it? Yes

A high electricity bill and cramped living room led to a recent television upgrade. My husband and I just purchased our first flat panel television. Until this point, we had been using an early generation high definition tube television. We purchased the Samsung 40” Class 1080P 120 Hz Flat-Panel... Read full review »

What Would I Do Without My TIVO?

bynewtownbeans Feb 1, 2009
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Easy to use & setup; competitive subscription prices; very intuitive menus; reasonably...
Cons Must use cable cards which eliminate the use of Pay-For-View channels.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the third TIVO unit that I have owned in the past few years. I started with the original TIVO and then upgraded to the 2-tuner Series 2 standard version and now to the 2-tuner Series 3 HD version. Each time that I upgraded, it cost me very little extra money or I sometimes actually made... Read full review »

When only the best will do...

Pros Excellent user interface, 30 second commercial skip, huge hard drive, Netflix streaming...
Cons Way expensive, advertising in menus, it's watching you.
Recommended it? Yes

I was a very early adopter of DVR technology, the idea of turning a hard drive into a kind of smart VCR.  I am a huge fan of the idea, not because I am an avid TV watcher, but rather because I find 95%+ of what is on TV these days is virtually unwatchably bad.   Most of the time when I turn on the...

Background:
I was a Tivo user with a lifetime subscription service when the series 1 unit came out.  I use off-the-air program content and am reluctant to subscribe to cable or sattelite services.  When digital and HD content became available off-the-air, I gave my Tivo to my brother and... Read full review »

Tivo HD tries to do too much.

bymalaplan Nov 29, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Easily records an entire season's worth of TV shows with some remote programming...
Cons Tries to do too much with some freeze-ups and slow response.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been a big fan of Tivo since first getting a Series 1 Sony unit 8 years ago with a lifetime service plan. After getting a new LCD HDTV, I found that we needed a new Tivo to take advantage of the TV's HD capabilities and Tivo offered a transferal of the lifetime service to a new Tivo HD. I...

Watch for the surprise "early termination fee"!

Pros Pricing - expandability
Cons Bugs, advertising and hidden charges
Recommended it? No

I had an original series 2 and always liked it but when I got HD service and Tivo did nothing to support HD, I cancelled. The cable company HD DVR's have been ok but have their quirks so I though after three years I would try the Tivo HD. I was really surprised that they had made so little progress...

Good concept, piece of crap equipment

Pros Fairly easy to use interface. Easy to connect.
Cons Looses connections to internet and cable often.  Drops audio too often.
Recommended it? No

I love the way I can stop live tv and have recorded programs right there to pick from (no DVDs or tapes to sort through).  But this equipment is quirky and faulty.  For something that costs so much money, it ought to work much much better.

About every 5 minutes, it looses several seconds of... Read full review »
