TiVo Series2

Pros: Commercial skip, Season Passes, TV Suggestions.

Cons: Lifetime subscription covers the unit not the subscriber.

The Bottom Line: You'll find yourself watching live tv less and less as once you get used to the Tivo it will free up your time for more important activities.... like PS2. :>

Review: I have known about the Tivo device for the last few years unfortunately they were priced well above what I could afford.

When I saw the Series2 40hr at Circuit City for $100 I simply could not resist.

I bought my Tivo I am not...

Pros: Will change the way you watch TV forever,excellent usability, excellent service and support.

Cons: - No digital hookups, poor network support, hard drive won't last forever.

The Bottom Line: Stop debating, just go out and get one already. It will be your favorite appliance hands down.

Review: TiVo is simply one of the best designed products ever made. Not only is it incredibly easy to use but it is such a joy to use. It will instantly become a necessity in your life. Once you have TiVo you will never have to watch a commercial you don t...

Pros: Incredibly useful, good interface, easy to use, great support from other users.

Cons: "Buy in" price still high, questions regarding what features will be added

The Bottom Line: Great technology, great product. Best "gadget" I've seen since the remote. Still a little pricey, but this toy is on the verge of going mainstream - in a huge way.

Review: So about three weeks ago, I was overcome with one of my occasional "I need a new gadget" fits. I had been looking at personal video records (PVR) for some time, but decided it would be especially useful at this time of year, when I was sure to be...

Pros: Changes the way you watch television, NO COMMERCIALS!

Cons: Pray that it never breaks because customer service is HORRIBLE

The Bottom Line: Try it and love it but BEWARE. Buy direct from Tivo to limit their excuses when it breaks, and pay for the service monthly instead of the lifetime membership.

Review: I had heard about Tivo through various sources -- I had a cousin that won one in a contest, had heard celebrities talk about it. Decided to purchase one last year for my birthday. I am not a moviegoer, PPV watcher, or a movie renter. I needed...

Pros: Excellent unit, plenty of storage, easy to use, easy to hook up, great interface.

Cons: You will need to install a splitter to watch one program and record another.

The Bottom Line: If you are reading this review and thinking about buying you are already behind the times. Buy TIVO and find out what you have been missing.

Review: Sleek excellent unit, plenty of storage with 80 hours, easy to use programming, easy to hook up if you can hook up a VCR, great interface software. TIVO always send updates and I have never had any problems since buying the original TIVO unit two...

Pros: Best features of any DVR (season pass, search for titles, wishlists)

Cons: Expensive, terrible and frustrating for most Dish Network receivers, poor video quality

The Bottom Line: Recommended for Non-Dish customers, not recommended for Dish customers. Ridiculous service charges each month (~$13!!!). Sub-par video quality for enthusiasts. Hard to setup, great features.

Review: Tivo's latest Series 2 DVR....the full honest review

Introduction

The digital video recorder (DVR) was a great invention. Tivo was one of the first companies to produce and market the product, also. The Tivo 40...

Pros: Pause Live TV, fast forward, rewind and dual tuner.

Cons: NONE that I could think of at the moment!

The Bottom Line: I can not think of anything at the moment.

Review: I don't get it where some people say that the Hughes Tivo with DIRECTV is noisy? I can barely hear it running. All I hear is a fan running. My RCA 4 head VCR is louder then my Tivo!

This is the best thing that I have purchased since I...

Pros: Very easy set up and billing

Cons: Rebate a tremendous hassle

The Bottom Line: Frustrating rebate process makes this product more expensive than expected.

Review: While I love the product, the rebate offered to everyone on is a tremendous hassle. I purchased this product on 12/13 and submitted the rebate materials on 1/7/03. To this day, I have not received my rebate check and have had to call the rebate...

Pros: Never forget to record programs, Wishlists, pause, rewind and of course fast forward(commericals)

Cons: Cost almost not an issue any more, need to be near phone line.

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.

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 called...

Pros: TIVO allows you to watch TV the way you want to watch it!

Cons: "Clunky" channel changing

The Bottom Line: I'd recommend TiVo to anybody who wants to watch TV their way. However, do not expect to be able to channel surf like you once did.

Review: I've been a TIVO owner for three months now. In an effort to add to your "knowledge base" prior to plunging into the "TIVOlution," I'm going to offer up a few items which I haven't seen mentioned in other reviews. First, I'd recommend anybody...
