DirecTV recorder - Tivo Review

I purchased my DirecTV Tivo two years ago, when they first came available.  This device is one of my best friends, lol.  It has revolutionized the way I watch TV.  Here are the main features of a Tivo.  Please note, my Tivo has a dual receiver and not all Tivos have this feature.

Tape two different shows and watch a third show, all at the same time!

Fast forward through commercials and boring stuff.

Pause live TV and press play when you are ready.  Perfect for families with barking dogs, like mine!

10 second instant replay and slow motion, great for the sports-lover

Easily set up programs to tape, search by time, channel, title, or even by keyword. 

Set up a season pass of your favorite shows so you don't have to remember to tape them each week, it does it automatically.

Now that I have the Tivo, I never have to watch commercials, so I can watch an hour-long program in 40-45 minutes.  It saves a lot of time, and I never have to worry about two favorite shows being on at the same time.  Both of them will be taped.

 I can't think of one single con, other than the $7 or $8 subscription fee I pay per month.  This gadget is amazing.
