DirecTV recorder - Tivo Reviews

Do you love TV, but also have a life outside the house?  If so, Tivo is for you.

I have had my DirecTV Tivo for 5 years and I can't remember what watching TV was like before.  The basics are:

• Record individual programs, set up season passes to your favorite shows, record shows based on wish lists and keywords.
• Pause, rewind, fast forward live TV.
• Our reciever has two tuners which means you can record two shows at once, watch one and record another.
• Our reciever can record and store up to 32 hours of programming.  This varies depending on the actual reciever you choose.

What does that all mean? ...

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,...

              I thought that this product would be very hard to work, but it is really quite easy to use. I really love not having the ability to fast forward through the commercials, the down side is that you will realize how many there are and start realizing just how long your show really is. I can record two shows at one time, and save them for later. I find it great when I can't find anything to watch on my cable, I can then go into my saved shows and veg out on the shows that I love.

I would definately advise to purchase one today.

Change the way you watch TV.  It saves time by eliminating commercials and skipping the fluff of reality shows.  Watch what you want, when you want, faster than normal.  The ability to pause and rewind is fabulous.  The kids bothering you?..no problem...pause.  Dinner is burning?  No problem..pause.

Clear picture, easy interface.  This is the greatest thing since TV itself.  Enjoy.

I can not say enough about the DirectTV Tivo.  It is easy to program for upcoming shows, allows for fast forwarding through commercials (yea!) and the picture quality is superb. I advise anyone who doesn't currently have DirectTV, or who does but does not have Tivo, to subscribe immediately.

I am just a customer and am not compensated for my opinion in any way.
