I bought one of the early models of TiVo, and added drive space to make it a 110 hour unit. I wouldn't bother watching TV without it. It really is everything it promises. I don't know what time a lot of my programs come on, or what day of the week, I...

We never even heard of TIVO until our children gave us one last Christmas. The TIVO came with a lifetime subscription which made it even better. We are retired and not exactly "Hi Tech" people, so we paid someone recommended by our excellent store,...

I bought the HDR112 but is the exact same product as the 612. It was the greatest decision I have ever made. There's no buyer's remorse with TiVo. I've had it for 5 months now and I don't know how I ever lived without it.

The concept of Tivo is great but when it comes to the user experience it is something totally different. 1) I sent in my refund stub and have yet to receive my money. 2) I have spent numerous hours trying to debug the communication between my cable box...
