TiVo - Digital Video Recorder Review

My Tivo has allowed me to catch all of the great programs offered on TV. I have been a happy user since about 1999 when my daughter lived in Des Moines. She would call me during prime time every evening. I had previously videotaped the shows I would miss, but it would get so confusing.


We bought a Tivo when we got satellite service and I have been a great fan ever since. Now, I think my favorite feature is the Suggestions capability. During the presidential campaign, I would have missed many opportunities to record programs I would ultimately add to my nominee collection.


I am currently using the latest model available to me with my satellite service, an R10, not nearly as sophisticated as the higher end models available to cable users. I can hardly wait for mid 2009 when an newer model is to be made available to satellite users.


I would give up satellite before I would give up my Tivo!!
