TiVo Series2

Pros: Watch TV on your terms, not those of the advertisers.

Cons: Will cost you much more per month if you buy a standalone unit.

The Bottom Line: This Review is about the advantages of TiVo and things to consider. It is not about this particular TiVo device. I would not buy this unit.

Review: This review is really about TiVo in general, and not about this particular product. Since TiVo is incorporated into so many different products, and the features are all the same, I decided to just put the review under this product. So keep in mind...

Pros: No more commercials and you'll never miss your favorite shows

Cons: Can't record and watch different live shows at same time and misleading recording time

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 device s...

Pros: Easy to use, great guide, looks good with other components

Cons: cost, cost, cost!!! could work with cable box better

The Bottom Line: TIVO is a great gizmo. However, it is not cheap I can?t say that the initial cost is really worth it though.

Review: I bought my wife a TIVO recorder this past week. I must say, this thing is one cool gadget. TIVO records the shows you want to watch, recommends shows you might want to watch, and filters-out shows/commercials you don t want to watch. That said,...

Pros: Quality system and problem free.

Cons: Haven't found any.

Review: This was the original system that sky digital used to make their Sky plus which speaks quality. Excellent system and would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying it.

Pros: Good service. Easy to set up. Easy Menu functions. Intuitive remote options.

Cons: Major picture degredation with pauses and pixilation occuring more frequently.

The Bottom Line: If your looking for a DVR that can record all your shows and is easy to use, this is it.

Review: TIVO actually upgraded me for a nominal fee about 2 years ago. I have a lifetime membership that is going strong after 8 years. Their service has always been great and very quick to deliver. After having the 80hour Series 2 for 2 years it is...

Pros: Good product

Cons: Customer service invents problems with your account.

Review: It's two years after a similar review. 3 months later and customer service keeps finding ways to delay cutting a check.

Pros: Search tool, set recordings, easy menus, user friendly, fastforward, rewind, pause TV

Cons: whirring fan, transfer problems, doesn't seem to do 40 hours at best quality

The Bottom Line: Great product if you don't plan to record a lot of movies or to store recordings on the unit. If you do, get the 80 hour unit.

Review: I really like this Tivo system. The menus are easy to get around and very user friendly. You can search for shows and movies and set up recurring recordings. It's easy to skip over commercials by starting to watch to a program about 15 minutes or so...

Pros: Better way to watch television

Cons: Cost, something different to get used to

The Bottom Line: If you value your time, or your TV show addictions, the TiVo is a necessary appliance.

Review: I've been interested in the TiVo concept for a long time. It seems like everybody who has one "could never imagine going back". Finally, I was able to see one in action -- a friend had a TiVo series 1. Wow, it was neat.

I bought my wife a...

Pros: always something to watch, easy to use, no worry about missing favorite shows

Cons: cost, can't record two shows at once, not really 80 hours of storage

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...
