Tivo is fun, easy, and soo convenient. I am a 4 year Tivo subscriber and I don't think I could ever go back to a non-tivo existence.
DVR's in general are a great thing, but Tivo is extra special. My favorite tivo function is the Wishlist. I put in all of my favorite Actors in. I also do wishlists for upcoming trip destinations,so I can find travel shows about places I will be visiting. You can set it up to automatically record wishlist shows, or just save them and check to wishlist every few days. Never miss your favorite actor or actress on a talk show, watch every travel special...
review »By now, is there anyone who doesn't know what Tivo is? It's now so ubiquitous that it has found its way into our language as both a noun (I just bought another Tivo) and a verb (Didn't you Tivo it?). So why talk about it now? Because it just keeps getting better and better.
A Primer
In the event that there is somone who doesn't know Tivo is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that coupled with the Tivo Service allows you to record your favorite TV shows so you can watch them when you choose.
You can select your programs to record one by one or by subscribing to a Season Pass where Tivo will automatically...
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...
review »I LOVE my TiVo!! I don't know how I ever got by without it. The model I have is a dual tuner, which means you can record on two channels at the same time, plus still watch live tv.
One of my favorite features is the Season Pass option. You can program your favorite shows and have it record any episodes of that show automatically. You can also tell it to just record new episodes or all of them. No more scrambling to record a show the same night it's on. Also, if the time changes due to another program (for example, a sporting event), TiVo knows to record it at the new time, which a VCR...
review »A friend of mine bought my my Tivo over four years ago, and I really have come to depend on it. So much so that I am nervous about it's age. It does what it is supposed to fo, and more.
It records the shows at reasonable quality (on standard, DVD quality on Best). It keeps them as long as I need them or want them, and makes suggestions that, despite a few glaring and repetitive errors (I do NOT want to watch any moe episodes of Masterminds. Get it?) they seem fair enough.
It is reliable, it is easy to use, it is friendly, and even keeps up with the constantly changing cable lineup. The remote...
review »I cannot live without my tive. Working second shift, I usually miss all of my shows at night. i used to depend on a vcr to record all the shows and would have to watch everything that next day so i could record over it and tape more things. Before you knew it, i had multiple tapes I would record on and the image quality would get worse and worse. Tivo stores everything digitally so there is no tape to worry about. The image and sound quality are no different than if you were watching it live. Tivo series 2 is an upgrade from the original in that you can record one show while watching another, You...
review »I LOVE my Tivo - and now actually have two of them, a 40-hour and an 80-hour with dual receivers, so I never miss a thing. My husband and I laugh that we don't know anything about commercials anymore because we NEVER WATCH THEM!! When I go somewhere that I have to watch TV live, I cannot believe how long it takes to watch a show!! nd commercials? Ugh. Loud, inane and repetitive.........something I can live without!!
I am currently on my third TiVo box. I now have a TiVo box for every television in my house. TiVo is so much more convenient the cable DVR system. I really love the ability to schedule programs from any computer (tivo.com or Yahoo.com).
