Watch TV on YOUR terms with Tivo

byrutkiller Nov 9, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros User friendly, cheap monthly fee, can't live without it!
Cons Somewhat confusing setup.
Recommended it? Yes

My wife had her bridal shower back in June, 2006 and one of the guests purchased Tivo for us. At first, I thought this was a poor gift choice, however, over the last few months, I have found that this is a new necessity in our household, and something we cannot live without.

My wife and I... Read full review »

TiVo: My First DVR

bymashimaru Jul 27, 2008
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy! Works!
Cons Channel changer & lineup not always accurate; lag time while changing channels
Recommended it? Yes

I resisted getting a DVR for a long time, because I had always thought that if I wasn't home to watch a TV show, it wasn't meant to be. A lot of the shows I did enjoy watching were basic cable shows that rerun about 5 times a day. (Project Runway, etc.) Also, I end up waiting for a lot of my... Read full review »

One of my better investments

byjierik Jan 23, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Unlimited flexibility for watching TV, integration with internet and wireless networking
Cons Cannot watch one channel and record the other, always on
Recommended it? Yes

Being selective TV viewers, with only a handful of programs we regularly watch, we just were never able to watch our shows and movies on the scheduled times. We had been contemplating a Tivo for a long time, having read about its possibilities, but we never had the cojones to purchase the thing... Read full review »

Love my Tivo!!!

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros So Many! Catches shows you wouldn't think of.
Cons Can be difficult to program.
Recommended it? Yes

My husband and I avoided Tivo like the plague - we didn't want to be tied to the TV. Hello! That is exactly what Tivo did - it freed us up! What a wonderful product, what a wonderful idea, I wish I'd thought of it!

We have two 80 hour Tivo's that we bought life time service plans for. We... Read full review »

Goodbye VCR!!!!

byrichro1965 Feb 5, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to find, record and manage programs.
Cons Customer service is hard to reach.
Recommended it? Yes

I'll never use a VCR again! Tivo is the greatest invention since sliced bread.

Sure, it's a little more difficult to program than a VCR but once you learn how to use it you'll be glad you did. Tivo makes it so easy to find, record, and organize your shows.

Yes there are minor... Read full review »

SUCKS! Avoid at all costs

byknoydart Oct 19, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Felxibility, great Seasons Pass system.
Cons AWFUL pciture & agonisingly S-L-O-W
Recommended it? No

I was impressed by the promise of TiVo, but the promise was not met by reality. It is a very good concept, but sadly let down by the hardware provided. This is disapointing, as a parent who rarely gets chance to watch a program when I want it, without being interupted by diaper changes, feedings,... Read full review »

TiVo is the best, though not for digital cable recording...yet.

bylighterg Jun 3, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros TiVo series 2 has great improvements, looks neat, is user-friendly, with fair-quality...
Cons IR channel cables aren't good option. Will record HD/Comcast cable, but not full HD.
Recommended it? Yes

I received my TiVo Series 2 (80-hours) last Christmas, and once I familiarized myself with the controls, it has been an awesome addition to my entertainment setup.

If you're familiar with basic TV/audio-visual technologies, setting the TiVo up should be a breeze. For me, I did have to... Read full review »

Tivo makes ordinary TV awesome!

byasterb Mar 4, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy menu options, fast forwarding past commercials, ability to keep your recorded shows
Cons Tivo starts recording what it thinks you like, another remote control
Recommended it? Yes

Tivo makes ordinary TV awesome TV. Simply put, it captures the shows you want to watch, so you can watch them on the night that has no shows you want to watch. Speeding past the commercial is always a plus! Read full review »

Pros Pause and rewind live tv, record your favorite shows, never watch boring tv again.
Cons Fragile! Buy from Best Buy with a warranty plan!
Recommended it? Yes

TiVo is the greatest invention ever. We love ours!! No more commercials and having to wait until commercials come on use the restroom – just hit pause. The pause button always works in emergency situations like when you need a snack or the phone rings while you are watching your favorite television... Read full review »

Pros Besides the obvious pros.. Being able to search for the show by name, time, etc.
Cons Not being able to watch a different live show, while recording.
Recommended it? Yes

I LOVE my TiVo so much, that I bought a second one for my bedroom. I can't believe I'm reading reviews that complain. I mean, all the DVR's out there, have some pros and cons, but the TiVo has been WONDERFUL! Customer service has been as well!

My husband finally gave in and let me get a... Read full review »
