A Better TiVo than TiVo!!

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: Toshiba SD-H400 is a bargain compared to Stand-Alone TiVo Series 2. For $50 more you get progressive DVD player, progressive DVD/TiVo output, and life-time free TiVo Basic with 3-day guide.
Review: I wanted something for my wife and me to better manage our TV viewing, yet I'm completely against paying a monthly-fee for recording TV programs. The Toshiba SD-H400 with TiVo Basic turned out to be a perfect product for us, until Media Center PCs...

Great product for a Home Entertainment Center!

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: At $200, it is a must have for all TV viewers. The "pause live TV" feature alone is worth the price. The rest is just icing on the cake. Enjoy!
Review: I purchased this unit to use as a recording device, as well as a DVD player. To me hook-up was straight forward and pretty easy. Toshiba supplied all cables that were necessary.

Once connected, the set-up through TIVO was a little time...

Toshiba SD-H400 DVD / TIVO combo - horrible (2 DOA)

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: DO NOT buy this product, as I purchased two of them, and neither of them worked right out of the box.
Review: I saw that slickdeals.net had posted

"BestBuy has the Toshiba SD-H400 80HR Tivo + Progressive Scan DVD Player w/ free Basic Tivo service for $200 w/ free shipping. No subscription fees for basic Tivo service. If you sign up for the Tivo...

80 GB Tivo and DVD player for the Price of a DVD player!

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: $100 was after $100 rebate with plus subscription, I'd buy it for $200 anyway. DVD player, series2 80GB harddrive, free basic service = steal
Review: I will try to split this review up into 3 sections plus one bonus section. One explaining what is Tivo, the other on the DVD player, and finally the last describing the Toshiba Tivo. Before diving in, I feel that it's best to really describe how the...

Reduce clutter: no VCR tapes, replace old DVD player

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend Inexpensive intro to TIVO. I can watch what I want, when I want. No more mindless TV surfing.
Review: I have wanted a TIVO for such a long time but the idea of paying a monthly fee to watch TV goes against my religious beliefs. This unit with TIVO basic fit my budget and there was the option of not paying an additional charge for watching the TV...

TiVo and Toshiba have radically altered our TV viewing habits

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Easy to use, makes a great glorified VCR, but I wouldn't have paid full price.
Review: Background
I'll start by being brutally honest--we don't have cable or even satellite at home, we receive 6 over the air channels (yes, that means antenna). So, why, might you ask, would this crazy person want a TiVo unit? Well, when our 10 year...

A good spacesaver and VCR replacement

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great, easy-to-use alternative to a VCR that doesn't take up any more space.
Review: A few weeks ago, my VCR decided to retire itself. Although machines don't have personalities, I think it knew it's days were numbered as all of my movies were replaced with DVDs and its only use was to tape the television shows I'd miss.

Awesome Combination

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2004
Review: I have been hesitant to purchase a TiVo, because of the monthly subscription fee. With the SD-H400, you get a lifetime subscription to Basic service, which is ideal for someone that doesn't watch enough tv to justify the reoccurring monthly charges...

Great Buy!

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2004
Review: I have limited space in my entertainment center so this is great! A Tivo player and DVD combined in the size of a moderate size DVD player. I have always thought about buying TiVo but not interested in subscription fees. This unit comes with basic...
