TiVo - Digital Video Recorder Review

Oops, I think this was actually a gift for my husband, but he lucked out because my daughter and I have taken over.

We have had this model for over 5 years.  It is the greatest thing.  I am no longer scheduling plans around my favorite shows or disappointed that I missed an episode.  Now the shows are planned around my schedule.

My only regret is this: upon receiving the item as a christmas present we had to activate the service.... (Cheers to Tivo they were open on Christmas Day) and I was given 2 payment options.... $12.95 per month or $295.00 one time for life of machine.   Due to a bad experience with a satelite system that broke soon after buying, I was reluctent to fork out the $295.00; however if I had I wouldn't still be forking out the monthly fee.
