TiVo - Series2 TCD649080 Video Recorder Review

  Oh boy. Well first, when you turn it on, Tivo leads you through the set up process in a logical easy fashion. I am fairly tech savvy, and added the wireless option so that Tivo could connect with my wireless router to save a lot of wiring. So, I hooked my cable to Tivo, my Tivo to my TV and also added a Dvd recorder/player with no issues.

 I think one of my favorite things about Tivo is how intuitive the controls, remote and even the menus are. I have not had any problems figuring out how to set up recordings, recording quality or making DVDs of shows to watch (much) later. I can easily check to see the recording history or the to do list. Huge plus is season pass - it will find your show to record when the station decides to move the day or time it's shown. Yay!  Another big plus, you can individually choose recording quality for programs, so if you are going to DVD it, you can use the high quality versus medium or basic (to save memory). I got mine when I went back to school to get my degree and will be working nights, so without Tivo there would be no House, Bones, etc. for me!!!

 My only negitive remark would be Tivo's tendency to record programs that I won't watch - but there is a fix. It allows you to review and repeatedly giving 3 thumbs down will elimate a program from Tivo's list.
