TiVo is heaven - don't buy Philips. Support is horrible.

We adore our TiVo. The series 2 we got from Philips has worked fine - we upgraded the memory and love TiVo so much we're adding a second TiVo subscription to our household. We needed to get new cable boxes when our cable company went all digital. So...
