Good choice for basic use but has caveats

I have owned this Replay unit for several years now. I bought it when it came out some years ago. I have not been disappointed for the most part. I had to replace the hard drive a few months ago (it finally wore out) but other than that, has worked...

Great product and easy to install. Don't have to deal with the Cable Companies to get it up and running. Enjoying it immensely.

Grossly Unreliable; Miserable Customer Service

 

Grossly Unreliable; Miserable Customer Service

My unit failed three days after installation. The machine locked up and rebooting did not correct the problem. ReplayTV's poor customer service exacerbated the experience. The representative was pleasant but lacked any technical expertise. Her...

...the first time. Very, very happy with my Tivo. The Tivo functionality, ease of use & tech support have all been great.

Complicated Simplicity

 

Complicated Simplicity

I have had this thing for two years now and I can say I love it. I do not know what I would do without it. There is free software that allows you to access your programs online and the software on the device itself is very stable. The only gripe I...

Great product, some minor issues

Now that the 50XX series is out, the 55XX series is almost as good. The 5040 is/was a great deal since it was easily upgraded with cheap after rebate large drives. With the use of DVArchive, archiving/streaming/offloading movies is a snap even if you...
