http://www.viewpoints.com/DVRs Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:18:05 GMT Reviews about DVRs http://www.viewpoints.com/TiVo-Digital-Video-Recorder--2631-review-370b3 I love this system.  I don't know how I would live without tivo. We did try to go to a dvr offered through the satellite system, but couldn't navigate it as easily.  Tivo is really easy to use, and it pretty straight forward. I love how easy it is to record things, and to always have something my kids can watch at the touch of a button.  Even my kids can use the remote.  We have the 80 hour one, and have never had it full. ...

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 about Vienna before you visit,  know whenever there is a special about any topic you are interested in.  —...

I can watch my shows in less time which means I can watch more shows in my limited time. It also means that I don't have to plan my life around my favorite shows. I can go out any night I want and not have to worry about missing my shows. Then when I have down time I can watch what I want to. Or if someone comes over in the middle of watching a show i can pause it and not worry about missing the end. I don't know if I could go back to not having one! —...

I honestly don;t know what I did before I got it! I am so addicted that I actually skip watching live shows on purpose so that I can watch the recording later and skip through all the commercials. Tivo is the greatest thing that's happened to TV since....well, EVER. I'm not a sports fan at all, I just love other TV. If you do dig sports then Tivo is even more ideal. I think that setup is somewhat intense, but I have a super techie husband who handled that for me. Now I have a Tivo in every...

I bought mine from Sears three years ago. Two hours before the super bowl and had it setup and running be for kick off. over the last few years my TIVO series 2 had evolved from a recording and playback device to a vital part of my home entertainment center. Connected through my home network via the usb expansion port I'm able to download new movies releases from amazon.com, along with music and pictures from home computer....

No issues like the Comcast DVR's constantly reporting that their hard drives are full. — — Great deal from dish network to hook this guy up as well. — — Better then the Tivo box as the monthly fees are less! —...

When I was at my daughters house watching a recored TV show and it was excellent quality,I said to my self It's time to get a HD DVR. Watching Recorded shows is the same as watching HD TV. 1000 times better than...

I love that I can record shows & watch them when I want. I am getting ready to have my second child & it was very helpful with my first during those late night feedings to have something to watch when the baby is awake....

Well before i bought it , they told me i didnt need to have it hooked to a phone line....but you do, and have had all kinds of problems with connection and to find a line it takes forever, needless to say the tivo is just sitting on the tv not being used at all, what a waste of...

I came home and did some research on Tivo and found the service to be appealing and it would serve me well as I sometimes have to choose between 2 shows I like. So a few days later when I had some errands to run I went and bought the TIvo.      — —     Hooking up your Tivo — —     It is rather straight forward to setup the Tivo control box. You have your electrical plug which all of us know where that goes. Then there is the antenna cable that can be hooked up 2 ways. You can hook your cable lead Into the Tivo and then another cable goes from your Tivo to your TV set. I cannot use it that way as my TV's cable port is burned out. So in order to get it to work I had to use a RCA cable (Red, Yellow,White) to get signal to my TV. Unfortunately that means I cannot...

I am a technology lover, a pet owner and expect good, fair service. I am not rich, but am technically savvy.I am a pc-and mac user.I am value conscious and am impressed with this product, and glad to have it. I am willing to pay for quality service. I am not  afraid of technology. I am budget conscious  and am  loving this product. I am appreciative of good service and am in need of a long lasting battery. — ...
