Sony SVR-3000

bought mine in 2002 (with lifetime service) and still works great. had to replace the hard drive 3 times now but the reason i bought this model is that it has a much better remote than the Tivo Series 2's and is just a cleaner design.

I bought my SVR-3000 in late 2001 or early 2002, and it's been working perfectly the whole time. It's been to 5 states with me, been hooked up to more antennas, cable and satellite systems than I can remember, and works perfectly with the USB wifi...

I was happy with my sony until it stopped working after nearly 2 years. I didn't want to pay more money to fix the unit plus the additional 15/month for tivo. I ended up renting a dvr from my cable company. The dvr can record 2 programs...

Tivo is a great service when it works, as is this DVR. Unfortunately, the service stopped receiving program information after 10 days and now I am having to send the machine back to Sony for repair. Actually, Tivo says it is a Sony hardware problem....

I love my TiVo, it was the best investment. I just wish I could use my USB ports on my box to output saved programs to a DVD writer, rather than to my VCR(old technology). Come on Sony, when is it going to happen? Instruction manual has no...

I am currently getting digital cable and when I got this unit back in January 2003 my ONLY option was to use the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor is similar to a remote control as it transmits a signal to the cable box to change channels, etc. It...

I just wanted to mention one other reason why this is the best. This is the only 80 hr Series 2 Tivo that is designed to work with two hard-drives. This one therefore is easily upgradeable. Other Series 2 Tivos lack the appropriate power supply and...
