How did I ever survive without TIVO?!?

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: TIVO IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY HOUSEHOLD. YOU MAY NOT NEED THE 80 HOUR DVR.I ALSO RECOMMEND PAYING THE 1 TIME FEE.
Review: Tivo is great! I don't want to sound like a TV junkie, but I always do my best to never miss my favorite shows like Friends, ER, Will & Grace, Law and order and the list goes on. If I had to miss these shows, I would set my VCR to record, but 90% of...

Easy to setup, easy to use, set it and forget it

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Tivo will change the way you watch TV; watch what you want when you want.
Review: Introduction
I have a Panasonic 47" widescreen HDTV with a Sony 5.1 surround sound system and Comcast Digital Cable. I watch TV on fairly regular basis, probably about 2 hours per night. All my friends had been raving to me about how awesome...

Changing The TV Experience

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Amazing Device! Amazing Service that will change the way people watch TV Forever.
Review: With all the Praises being heard about Tivo , I took it upon myself to purchase The Tivo Series 2 40 Hour Box.
The Box costs around $200.00 and the service of $12.95/month or lifetime one time payment of $300.00
After the easy Setup and...

57 Channels and Something On

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: Get one! I love always having something to watch. The setup experience is terrible though.
Review: Me and my husband were thinking about Christmas ideas, and we were thinking about how we had just about everything in the $100 or so range that we wanted. Then we thought of the Tivo. We gave the idea to our parents, but as Christmas approached, the...

Helpful...If you watch WAY too much tv.

Date of Review:  May 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Tivo is good if you are obsessed with tv, if your not...save your cash.
Review: I had seen adverts for tivo all over and heard the stars talking about how they couldn't live without it. I collect hi-tech toys so I knew this would be a must have for me.

I recieved my tivo on my birthday (dec 10th) as a generous gift...

Never Ask a TiVo Owner About a TiVo

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: TiVo is such an excellent product! I use mine constantly. I think there are very few TiVo owners who aren't thrilled with their TiVos.
Review: The rule should be, "Never ask a TiVo owner about their TiVo." Why? Because you will then have to listen to the TiVo owner go on and on for endless hours about the great benefits of owning a TiVo. What a product this is! I am a convert, and I am...

Tivo Series 2 140-Hour Model - The Tivolution Expanded!

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: This was the best choice for me with a digital cable connection, but I would have bought the integrated receiver-Tivo combination unit if I had Direct TV.
Review: I wanted to put a review of the Tivo Series 2 DVR - 140-hour model because it is not otherwise listed here on eopinions.com and may be of interest to many who are considering the 80-hour model.

THE BASICS
The Tivo Series 2 receiver...

Love my TIVO

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2004
Review: Just got the TIVO 40Hr Series 2 yesterday. I got it working in about an hour. I found customer support very helpful once you get past the Automated attendant which can drive you insane. I set the quality to Basic for recording so I can hit the 40 HR...

TiVo will change your life, *probably* for the better

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: I recommend TiVo service enthusiastically, but prefer the Sony DVR Player to the TiVo one.
Review: Problems: I replaced my lower capacity Sony DVR with the new Tivo Series 2, and I think the Sony is a better machine. The TiVo drive is noisy when it operates. I don't know if this is a flaw with my particular machine, but it works in every other...

TiVo is worthless

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Get the DVR service from your cable company. It is less expensive, and more efficient.
Review: I'm sorry, but I really don't see why everyone is so gaa gaa over TiVo. My roomate got one as a Christmas gift, and it has been horrible ever since. The setup is drawn out, and it still does not work properly.

The fact that it needs a...
