TiVo Rocks:
This is my first TiVo, and I've had it a month now. I hold onto my electronics for a long time, so I always buy the most advanced unit I can. Buying an HD model was a given, but I opted for the 1 TB disk so that I would never (I hope) run out of disk space or need an external drive. And in keeping with my long-holding style, I bought the lifetime (of the unit) TiVo license, for a pricey $400. This thing set up like a charm, connected to my internet wirelessly (with the optional TiVo doohicky), and went... more info
And I thought Tivo couldn't get any better -- I was wrong!:
Oh, my God, I had a series 2 Tivo with my regular tube TV, but when I upgraded to the Bravia 40", I knew I wanted the HD Tivo.

The price is steep, but I had gotten a promotional $100 off coupon via E-mail from the Tivo folks, and that made it easier to pull the trigger.... more info

The new unit works fine ..... oh, so much better than the Motorola DVR.
This is the first item I've ever needed to return to Amazon for any reason, and my experience... more info
I'm in love:
I had a generic DVR from my caable company for several years before I decided to make the leap to TiVo, and I'm glad I did. I am seriously in love with this machine. I'm even considering marriage, though I think such a union would only be legal in Massachusetts. Let me begin by saying that a DVR (regardless of the brand) will change the way you watch TV. And if you have one with a dual tuner, it means you never have to choose between two favorite competing shows. As a result, I pretty much stopped... more info
