 a wonderful recorder March 10, 2007
This required a learning curve. Setup is somewhat difficult, but the tech people at TIVO helped me thru it. I needed extra cables because I have both satellite and cable and they sent them at no charge. Once you learn all the settings it becomes pretty. It has a mind of its own and tries to be helpful. It will interrupt the program you are watching to tape something else it thinks you will like unless you tell it not to. You can disable this feature in the settings mode. My spouse loves it for its simplicity. She can really program our VCR, but this is much easier. Just set it and forget it!
 TIVO gave me a life!! February 17, 2007
Not going to beat a dead horse...there's plenty of reviews on this product. However, I love this product. I would recommend this to anyone that hates spending time watching commercials, hates flipping through channels constantly looking for things to watch, and likes actually being able to no-kidding own whats on the box and not have to lose all your recordings just because you change cable service providers.
Easy to use and practical February 7, 2007

The TiVo is all that it promises to be. It has "re-organized" how I watch television by providing information about ALL possible showtimes for programs; among which I can then choose. The only reason I give it 4 starts instead of 5, is the REBATE. It is a long process, and even after submitting all documents and being approved for one, it takes 4-5 weeks MORE to receive the rebate check itself. It also does not have HDMI or component hook-ups. So though the Best Quality recordings (an option on can choose) are still good (through a digital cable box), it cannot record nor provide an HD picture. I hope this ability will come in the future.
Can't live without it January 21, 2007

This is the best thing I've ever bought for my husband. No longer do we have to watch him flip through channels, searching for a show to watch. We never miss a favorite program, the children are restricted to shows that we have approved, there's ALWAYS something to watch! In fact, I can't remember the last time we've watched 'live t.v.'.
TIVo nearly all I expected January 19, 2007

Just like a computer is useless without the programing, the TIVo DVR is useless without the TIVo Service and your programing source. TIVo allows a person to save programs you might want to view and lets you view them when you want.
Negatives:
Used with Dish Network requires a signal from the Dishnet control after its daily update and TIVo doesn't give this signal.
TIVo works with IR controlled Dish/cable boxes, and Dish Network has dual tuner box with one tuner IR and the other radio controlled, TIVo will only control the IR controlled tuner.
