Pros: Still better the cable company's DVR
Cons: All these spiffy new features...Where is the Mac support?
Summary: Once again all the talk and hype has been centered on Tivo's networking abilities, but us Mac users are left in the dust. After over a year and a half of Windows users having the Tivo To Go feature (downloading TV from Tivo to computer) all us Mac ... read more >>

Pros: Stylish design, excellent interface, multiple outputs, reasonable HDD capacity, records two programs at once, inexpensive with contract.
Cons: Programs recorded higher than "basic" quality require tons of space, basic features will turn off power users, no support for HD content, no way to interact without the remote.

Pros: Love TiVo compared to the Comcast DVR I have now. Much simpler to use. Cheaper if you buy instead of monthly payments of almost forty dollars.
Cons: No HDTV. Doesn't work with my setup.
Summary: Whoever is running TiVo was really behind the curve when deciding to go to HDTV. Will be returning to TiVo when high definition is included. Unfortunately that seems to be October or later. I'm waiting. The comcast remote and options are a nightmare.

Summary: Background: I'm new to Tivo and DVR's in general, but I'm a tech savvy person and I've built many computers from scratch.
Good: The Tivo does what it is advertised to do. Best of all it does it in a simple, straighforward way, but doesn't le... read more >> -

Pros: Dual Tuner Feature
Cons: Lacks HDTV support
Summary: I have worked with many Tivos and I can say they are very good products. I would like to see HDTV come to Tivo. I like the product, but for it to survive, it needs to be able to support all the new feature of the new HDTVs today. Otherwise, your ... read more >>
