Tivo---"The Best Invention Ever!!!!" (and that includes the wheel)

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: Tivo will change your life!!! Well, at least your television viewing habits.
Review: I've often maintained that there are no better words in the English language than "bottomless keg" or "free buffet." However, I am on the verge of adding other member to the ever-exclusive group. That word is...."Tivo." Whether you look at the...

Regular TV is Dead!

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Tivo is great now, but in the coming monthes the Unit will be able to do more with music, photos and other video options.
Review: TiVolution is coming. "What are you talking about?". Simple! The way we watch TV is changing before our vary eyes. No longer are we tied to the network's schedules. Tivo and its main competitor Replay TV have developed an interactive TV system...

Yeah, I Tivoed That... Tivo... Learn It. Know It. Live It.

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's better than I thought. I certainly didn't expect it to completely take over television.
Review: Let's start with some simple concepts before we move on to greatly detailed ramblings.

First, Tivo rocks. If you don't need a lot of information, and just want to know if you should get one or not, just head out to the store now.

Is it really "God's Machine?" - Yes.

Date of Review:  May 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: I love my Tivo and recommend that everyone has one in their home. It's especially useful for busy people.
Review: "Tivo is God's machine." - Michael Powell, FCC Chairman.

I purchased a Tivo in December, 2002 and am very pleased with it. I opted to get the 40 hour Series 2 machine from Tivo's website, tivo.com. I also purchased the Lifetime...

Real TV is Deal - Long Live Tivo!

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: Now until the end of 2003, you can get a 50 dollars off at any retailer or at Tivo.com, bringing the price to 199.00.

If you took my Tivo away I might never watch TV again.

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: I think you need a Tivo... you might need the bigger one with 80 hours though.
Review: How I got Hooked
It was about a year ago that my husband said "I think we could get a DirecTV satellite with Tivo for less than we pay Comcast for normal cable." My reply was something to the effect of "What's the catch?" We looked into it, and...

The Basic TiVo: Great, and a TV Butler For Your Kids and Others

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is the basic TiVo, and it is a good one for any home.
Review: Have you tried out a TiVo yet? The TiVo can become your best TV friend and you can do all sorts of things with it. Do you want your (young) kids to see "good" shows and avoid "bad" ones? With a basic TiVo and a TV set with a timer, you can easily...

Got TIVO?

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: TIVO is a great product that makes life (at least the TV watching part of it) a whole lot easier and more enjoyable
Review: This review is based on the TIVO Series 2 80 hour unit with internal software version 3.2. I broke up this review into 4 sections explaining the initial setup, TIVO's functional highlights, Video Quality, and finally ending off with a summary of the...

One small step for home entertainment, one GIANT leap backwards for TIVO...

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a shame that such great technology has taken a step backwards, making it just average technology.
Review: I will preface this review by mentioning one thing -- that TIVO is probably the greatest thing to happen to television since color. The fact that you can now pause live television (excellent for those of us with tiny bladders and a penchant for...

Perhaps One of the Only Pieces of Electronics We Will Never Stop Using - TIVO!

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Almost can't image life without one. We hardly ever watch live TV or see commercials anymore. We love it!
Review: I love my Tivo!

If you've never heard of Tivo it is basically a new way to record and keep programs recorded from either television or cable (or another source) similar to a VCR. If you've never heard of a VCR – I pity you fool!
