"Idiot Proof and Superb Performance"
Pros: Incredibly straightforward setup and just as easy to use.
Cons: None other than Tivo Plus teaser
Summary: I just bought this and have not had the chance to explore all of the features. It was also my first exposure to TiVo. Hardware setup was very easy -- I had to use the IR blaster, which was simple to configure. The interview style on-screen setup took less than an hour -- it is pretty idiot-proof. After that, configuration of the remote to control the TiVo, my TV, and receiver took about 5 minutes. It could not have been simpler.
So far I've watched, paused, 'rewound', and 'fast-forwarded' live TV. DVDs work and look excellent. I plan to network the box with my wireless network for periodic updates instead of using the telephone line.
My only complaint so far is that Toshiba touts a 45 day trial of TiVo Plus (the full service) before being downgraded to the free basic version. However, after I set this up, I was informed that I had only 6 days of free trial. Strange. I didn't mind since I don't plan to use TiVo Plus...yet.
In sum, I thought this unit was very affordable, and the features are very well integrated.
