Pros: Great service, great features, great prices!
Cons: I can't think of a single one.
The Bottom Line: The other DVRs simply cannot compare to the features TiVo offers. Season Passes, Home Media Option, and now TiVo-to-go keep TiVo on top.
nashjar's Full Review: TiVo Series2â„¢ (80 Hours) (80 GB) 80-Hours Video ...
I bought a TiVo Series 1 4 years ago and before very long, wouldn't watch television in the rooms that didn't have a TiVo! The TiVo Series 1 was impressive, but...
I then bought a TiVo Series 2 in May 2003 and another TiVo Series 2 in January 2004. It is amazing how much improvement could be made on a product that was already fantastic!
I love being able to transfer shows between the TiVos! No longer am I shackled to one room for watching television!
When my family was here to visit recently and wanted to share some digital photos with everyone, I just copied them to my PC's hard drive and played them as a slideshow on the television! The pictures fit the television screen with amazing picture quality! And even better was the fact that 7 people didn't have to crowd around my PC monitor to view the photos!
TiVo actually DECREASED my cost last year! I am now paying half the monthly service fee I used to, and new TiVo owners no longer pay extra for the Home Media option, which allows photo and music sharing from PC to TiVos.
While I was visiting my mother out of state, a preview came on television for something I wanted to see. I just used her computer, went to TiVo's website, and set the recording online! When I returned home, TiVo had recorded the program!
I recommend a TiVo for every television in the house, and unless you like to store a lot of shows permanently, I wouldn't recommend getting anything bigger than the 80-hour TiVo. Having multiple TiVos gives you the recording space you need, but lets you record conflicting shows, and gives you TiVo functionality on each television.
Now TiVo has unveiled their TiVo-to-go service, which promises even more wonderful functionality - at no extra price!
