Once you use Tivo you will never go back!

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Until you have tried Tivo, you just don't understand. Ease of use, convenience, pause live TV, record one show while watching another, no VCR tapes. I'll never go back.
Review: Until you have tried Tivo, you don't understand what you are missing. Tivo lets you control TV, instead of the other way around.

Pause live TV. Rewind (3 speeds). Fast Forward (3 speeds).
Record one show while you watch another...

Neat service - Terrible customer service

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2003
Review: I owned this unit for 6 months and it was great...until the DVR broke. I spent a total of 2 hours on hold trying to get in touch with someone from tech support (long distance call, nice) to verify that it was indeed broken. They absolutely refused...

Great Idea, But Needs a Few Improvements

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Like most new innovations in technology, I see many welcome improvements in DVRs down the road. Unless you are a techno buff, wait for the improved versions.
Review: The Tivo Series 2 DVR will one day in the near future be the most convenient addition to media components. Before that day arrives, the Tivo people have some work to do.I received my Tivo as a gift and along with the Tivo I was fortunate to have the...

Tivo turned me back on to T.V.

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2004
Review: Tivo is quite possibly one of the greatest digital devices I own. Because I can record shows at anytime I've been able to catch up on so much lost sleep I feel like a new person. The great thing is is it wasn't too hard to set up. I definitely...

Greatest consumer device in the last few years!!

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2006
Review: I can now watch TV on my terms and without the annoying commercials. I've had a TIVO for about 2 years now and I could not watch TV without it.

I love the fact that it can be hooked to the home network and you can copy program to the...

Is it really "God's Machine?" - Yes.

Date of Review:  May 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: I love my Tivo and recommend that everyone has one in their home. It's especially useful for busy people.
Review: "Tivo is God's machine." - Michael Powell, FCC Chairman.

I purchased a Tivo in December, 2002 and am very pleased with it. I opted to get the 40 hour Series 2 machine from Tivo's website, tivo.com. I also purchased the Lifetime...

Tivo makes life simpler

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would reccommend the box with the understanding it might not last very long.
Review: Tivo and Blockbuster teamed up last year to offer a great deal: A year of Tivo and Blockbuster online with a free Tivo box. I couldn't pass up the deal. I am ten months into my contract now and would do it again in a heartbeat. The Tivo allows me to...

Tivo I think I Love You

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2006
Review: Tivo lives up to the hype.

This device will let you watch smarter television since you can watch something that you recorded and skip commercials. The best thing about it is that you don't have to sit throu 20 minutes of garbage per hour...

One small step for home entertainment, one GIANT leap backwards for TIVO...

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a shame that such great technology has taken a step backwards, making it just average technology.
Review: I will preface this review by mentioning one thing -- that TIVO is probably the greatest thing to happen to television since color. The fact that you can now pause live television (excellent for those of us with tiny bladders and a penchant for...

TIVO: TO THE POINT

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: Tivo is great if you have 10 hours to kill or just 20 minutes to spare.
Review: Whenever I try to explain to someone why they should get Tivo I get the strangest expressions. Usually I get, I don t have time to watch TV , but they don t realize that that is exactly why they should get Tivo. Or it costs too much money; this may...
