Are we not men? We are TiVo.

19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A lot of memory, ability to toggle programs, the TiVo service is solid.
Cons Not HD compatible
Recommended it? No

The TiVo R54080 80-hour DVR is a pretty good machine for recording digital cable. We bought one a few months ago, and it worked really well for us. We had an older model that only held 40 hours of programming, which was not enough for two busy people who can't always stay on top of what we have... Read full review »

Best way to watch TV (for me anyway)

bypsorrentino May 9, 2005
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Watch show from beginning while its being recording, music & photos on displayed on TV
Cons Programming sometimes misses beginning or end of shows. $13 per month service fee.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this unit for Christmas and was using it the next day without any problems. The unit easily connects audio, left and right to your stereo and video output to your TV. I use Comcast cable for the input. It also needs to phone home to Tivo, either via a phone line or Internet connection... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use, good picture, good features retained.
Cons Over priced, more complicated, lesser quality HD.
Recommended it? No

Since the advent of mini dishes, I've enjoyed the liberation from noisy cable and over the air antennas. I started with Dishes 400 series, worked my way up to their DVR and am now enjoying the HD DVR VIP 612.

If you've had Dish net's systems and DVR, you'll be familiar with their... Read full review »

Uses as much power as a full-size refrigerator!

byhg54 May 6, 2009
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All functions work as advertised.
Cons USES AS MUCH POWER AS A FULL SIZE REFRIGERATOR!
Recommended it? No

I measured it with my Kill-A-Watt meter and this satellite box uses 40 watts minimum whether it's on or off. In a year that's 350 kWhr. A Kenmore model #44123 16.7 cu. ft. refrigerator uses that same amount according to the EPA's Energy Star web site.

There is also noticeable fan noise... Read full review »
