Cons expensive, month charge (12/month)

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 schedule and have kids who want to watch... Read full review »

You'll wonder how you lived without it!

Pros Very smart software, EASY to use, YOU own it (not cable company).
Cons Curious future with cable DVR competition. Pricey without rebates.
Recommended it? Yes

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 value...until TIVO came along! Extremely easy to use, a... Read full review »

Pros The best thing obviously is being able to watch tv on YOUR schedule.
Cons You may end up watching much more TV!
Recommended it? Yes

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 that you want to see by searching for an... Read full review »

Pros Awesome to have, easy to use
Cons Can't really ff commercials, only on recorded programs. Slow remote reactions...
Recommended it? Yes

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 downside, the machine is slow to respond... Read full review »

Cons Service is expensive but not outrageous compared to my local cable provider.
Recommended it? Yes

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 mind up between the TIVO model and the other... Read full review »

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.
Recommended it? No

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. Recording time was longer, you could use the webmail... Read full review »
