It does not microwave your dinner or walk your dog either...

The people who have had problems with this item do not seem to realize what it is they bought. It is a one tuner DVR. It can only record one thing at a time, like your former VCR. What it can do let you pause a program or rewind a program you are...

It's what TIVO does not tell you that makes it a bad product

 

It's what TIVO does not tell you that makes it a bad product

I ordered this TIVO for wife's birthday. Here's what happened: Hooked the TIVO up and connected it to our phone. Spent a long time trying and trying to get it through its setup calls, contacted TIVO and was on hold a long while, WHAT THEY DON'T TELL...

Have 2 TIVO's in house. They work Superbly

Have had TIVO for nearly 4 years now, and they are great! They have lead the way for all other DVR's in the business. Customers need to understand that TIVO DOES NOT make the machines. They are the "inside the box" programming. I have a Sony and a...

Do not Buy! Waste of Money

 

Do not Buy! Waste of Money

I thought I was getting almost the same as the Dish Network DVR 522 which has 120GB hard drive allows 120hrs of recording time. This also has a stop button, a skip button, the ability to record two shows at one time and more. I was so happy to finally...

Rebuttal to "An electronics fan" commentary

Sounds like this person's experience is isolated. We have our Tivo unit connected through a "complicated" A/V system where Tivo is NOT going directly from the unit into the TV. There are no delays whatsoever. Everything remains completely in sync....

Tivo warranty and customer service is joke.

 

Tivo warranty and customer service is joke.

We purchased our Tivo unit six months ago, great technology, however, unit stop functioning. We tried to reach customer service six days in a row, waited between one hour and three hours for a person to talk too, but all you get is music. We are still...

Fantastic

 

Fantastic

TiVO has totally enhanced our watching experience. From features like being able to start to watch a show 10 minutes into it's beinr recorded (try that with a VCR), to fast skipping the ads (watch a 1 hour show in only 40 mins) its great. I now have...

Outstanding!

 

Outstanding!

I purchased my first TiVo about five years ago but was so impressed that, when I outgrew it, I didn't think twice about buying a larger size. I gave my old TiVo to a friend who has nothing but rave reviews about it. I have purchased TiVo's as gifts for...

Plasma TV with AV receiver & HD Digital Box READ UP

"When your system is more toward the cutting edge TiVo falls a little short." Note that there is little written about how TiVo works or doesn't work when your AV system is more complex than television-vcr-straight cable. We bought the Series2 140 hour...
