Cons: Annoying service plan

The Bottom Line: A wonderful device that makes your TV more convenient than you can imagine.

Review: I was just not a believer in the amazing abilities of Tivo until recently. Part of the reason was that I just was not that into TV. I did not have any shows I had to see, nor did I have the urge to spend a month trying to figure out how to operate a ...

Pros: Easy to use!

Cons: Cost

The Bottom Line: Great Concept! A great buy if you don't have a service that has its own DVR.

Review: I have been a Tivo fan for several years. I love it!! This has certainly changed my families life. Tivo is great to have for recording shows (no more find the tape!) and fast forwarding through commercials. I now have 4 DVRs in my house!! I must say ...

Pros: Great features, record two shows at once, online scheduling, full feature remote

Cons: needs bigger hard drive, initial subscription cost, software updates

The Bottom Line: stop wasting time reading opinions, just go out and buy one and start enjoying it.

Review: i record a LOT of shows everyday while at work, i used to have three VCR's to record all my favorite shows on different channels and eventually had one vcr go bad so i figured instead of replacing it i would get out of the 'stone age' and get into some ...

Pros: Great software. Very responsive. Enough storage.

Cons: Pricey when you take service fee into account. Long initial set up.

Review: I have had my Series 2 dual tuner 80 GB TiVo for almost 3 years now and I want to just say I cannot imagine my life with out it anymore. I don't know how I used to watch LIVE tv with commercials and without my TiVo. It literally knows me now. It knows ...

Pros: Ease of Setup and Use, Versatile Features

Cons: None!

The Bottom Line: Great Product with versatile Features, Try it and You'll be Hooked!

Review: I purchased the Dual Tuner 80hr box from Amazon through a rebate and they paid for service, the cheapest combination in pricing at the time. I believe that anyone who experiences the ease of TV will never be able to live without it. I cannot imagine ...

Pros: Sleek & attractive; dual tuners; 80-hour recording time; great price with rebate.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a TIVO upgrade or are considering becoming a new TIVO subscriber, now is the time to purchase this unit at a great price.

Review: I had been using the older TIVO 240004A model which was a single tuner 40-hour DVR and came across a great deal on Buy.com which was for the newer double tuner TCD649080, 80-hour DVR for $214. with shipping and a $15. instant discount and $150. rebate ...

Pros: inexpensive (if you shop around), intuitive controls, time-saver

Cons: does not permit use with 5.1 surround sound, only stereo

The Bottom Line: This Tivo unit is an intuitive time-saver. It is inexpensive if you shop around. I recommend it to anyone who can live without surround sound.

Review: I have owned the Tivo Series2 for about 6 months. When I purchased it I had a concern - I do not have a land line telephone, only VOIP, and the Tivo DVRs have traditionally used the phone line for set up and to receive the data pertaining to the show ...

Pros: Nice looking, feature packed, and fairly inexpensive.

Cons: Software updates; long hold times for tech support.

The Bottom Line: This DVR seems to be well thought-out and carefully designed. It really has a ton features that you won't be able to live without.

Review: I used to have a DVR and digital cable from the cable company, which was affordable because I had two roommates to split the bill. Once I moved out on my own, I decided not to get one because it meant that I would need to have digital cable, which is ...

Pros: Great tool for watching TV effectively.

Cons: They want all your money.

The Bottom Line: Buy one soon, Pay for lifetime service. But bug them for more features before buying a second one.

Review: The Tivo Series 2 DVR is great. The programmability is very easy and flexible. We only record show we want our children to watch. We get to watch shows we would normally miss because of homework and bedtime. Now we get to watch all our favorite shows ...

Pros: Easy to use, never miss a show

Cons: not good with satellite tv

The Bottom Line: Definitely worth the money, as long as you're not using satellite TV.

Review: Oh, TiVo, I don't even know where to begin... I am absolutely in LOVE with this device. Not long after my friend purchased a TiVo for himself, my boyfriend and I both became enthralled with it. So, after some not too long considerations, we ...
