Pros: Everything. Well, mostly everything. I'd take an 80 hour if someone gave it to me.

Cons: A certain Canadian channel has weird airtimes, but I guess that's not Tivo's fault.

The Bottom Line: It's better than I thought. I certainly didn't expect it to completely take over television.

Review: Let’s start with some simple concepts before we move on to greatly detailed ramblings. First, Tivo rocks. If you don’t need a lot of information, and just want to know if you should get one or not, just head out to the store now. Second, ...

The Bottom Line: I think you need a Tivo... you might need the bigger one with 80 hours though.

Review: How I got Hooked It was about a year ago that my husband said "I think we could get a DirecTV satellite with Tivo for less than we pay Comcast for normal cable." My reply was something to the effect of "What's the catch?" We looked into it, and ...

Review: "Tivo is God's machine." - Michael Powell, FCC Chairman.

I purchased a Tivo in December, 2002 and am very pleased with it. I opted to get the 40 hour Series 2 machine from Tivo's website, tivo.com. I also purchased the Lifetime...

Pros: Never forget to record programs, Wishlists, pause, rewind and of course fast forward(commericals)

Cons: Cost almost not an issue any more, need to be near phone line.

Cons: Does not handle conflicting recordings very well.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the TiVo DVR and the TiVo service for all TV viewers. You'll never miss your favorite show again.

Review: Introduction I am a huge fan of prime time television shows. The shows I tend to love (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, Alias, 24) have ongoing multi-episode storylines so it's extremely annoying to miss even one episode. It used to be a pain to ...

Pros: Will change the way you watch TV forever,excellent usability, excellent service and support.

Cons: - No digital hookups, poor network support, hard drive won't last forever.

The Bottom Line: Stop debating, just go out and get one already. It will be your favorite appliance hands down.

Review: TiVo is simply one of the best designed products ever made. Not only is it incredibly easy to use but it is such a joy to use. It will instantly become a necessity in your life. Once you have TiVo you will never have to watch a commercial you don’t ...

Pros: Commercial skip, Season Passes, TV Suggestions.

Review: I have known about the Tivo device for the last few years unfortunately they were priced well above what I could afford. When I saw the Series2 40hr at Circuit City for $100 I simply could not resist. I bought my Tivo I am not recommending the $50 ...
