TiVo Premiere

Pros: Smart - it's actually pretty good at suggesting content you might enjoy, even with minimal involvement on your part. You can also ignore these suggestions completely if you choose. Far more to list here.

Cons: The parental controls are not available with the new HD menu interface, and to enable them you must switch back to the standard definition menus and interface. An issue for me as we really enjoy the HD look and redesign on the premieres.

Summary: We're new to TiVo - we used to have one of those rental boxes from a large Cable provider, and although it was a good effort, it rarely worked as intended and we hated it. TiVo's amazing special on their premiere boxes finally pushed us over the edge; we had been on the fence about buying one for awhile, and we just couldn't turn down the incredible price this time. So glad we took the plunge! No, it's not perfect, but it's pretty close and we're confident TiVo will continue to remain committed to delivering an amazing product. We love our premiere box, and think you will too!!
