TiVo Series2 TCD540140

Pros: Pause live tv, record numerous programs, and more importantly prevent fighting over the television

Cons: expensive, month charge (12/month)

The Bottom Line: TiVo has saved me from experiencing so much aggravation over arguing about the television that I think its probably my favorite piece of electronics in the house

Review: While spending a few hundred dollars to invest in a Tivo player isn't on the top of everyones list of things to do, it does save a ton of time, effort, and aggravation if your looking tape things on television a lot. If your like me, then you have a busy ...

Pros: Control what and when you watch TV. VERY easy to use.

Cons: Service is expensive but not outrageous compared to my local cable provider.

The Bottom Line: I look at it as investment that allows me to control my own TV schedule. I recommend this!

Review: Because of my job, I travel quite a bit. I am sick of paying for cable TV and always missing my favorite TV shows so I decided to invest in TIVO. I did my research on the internet and decided to stick with the named brand (TIVO). I couldn't make my ...

Pros: Very smart software, EASY to use, YOU own it (not cable company).

Cons: Curious future with cable DVR competition. Pricey without rebates.

Review: We've had TIVO (140 hour) for 5 months and love it. So much so we may get another (40 hour) for the upstairs TV. Subscripton service (12.95/month and 6.95 for multiples) is well worth it. Cable bill is expensive for us and had very little ...

Pros: The best thing obviously is being able to watch tv on YOUR schedule.

Cons: You may end up watching much more TV!

Review: We got our TiVo through DirecTV. It was advertised at 99.00, but I ended up getting it for about half because of a mix-up with ordering. Anyway, TiVo is the BEST invention EVER! The options that it offers are fantastic; you can look for tv shows ...

Pros: Awesome to have, easy to use

Cons: Can't really ff commercials, only on recorded programs. Slow remote reactions. ANNOYING SOUNDS!

Review: I recieved this as a gift for my b-day last june. It has been a true lifesaver. I am able to record my favorite show "Motorweek" every week. The season pass manager is a nice feature to have, it allows you to record a weekly showing automatically. On the ...

Pros: It reinvents boring old TV!!!It's amazing.

Cons: The price-if you miss a sale

Review: I have had my TIVO for about 6 months now and I truly believe I would perish without it. :) I can't stand watching regular tv! Watching commercials now is like fingernails down a black board!!! Every time we watch a show and a commercial comes on we ...

Pros: You can watch TV on your own time and not miss a show.

Cons: It will only show 11 days of scheduled programing. Not 2 months out. No Webtv.

Review: I'm sad they don't have them anymore. My Ultimate TV system started having problems after having it only 2 years but the unit all in all was awesome when it worked. It was replaced by a Phillips Tivo. I could do so many more things with Ult. TV. ...

Pros: Convenience

Cons: The device doesn't last more than a year.

Review: Is it convenient? Sure. Is it great to fast forward through commercials? Sure. Will it last you a year? Possibly not. We purchase our Tivo exactly one year ago and the thing DIED this morning. It now officially has the distinction of being the ...

Pros: good technology

Cons: poor cust serv

Review: The idea of tivo is wonderful. I had a similiar DVR with Dish network. ( it is far superior to tivo) I decide to go with cable due to work paying for cable internet and wanted to get tivo. imediately I started having the picture freeze on the screen. I ...
