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 »

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.

A VCR Anyone Can Program - and It Doesn't Need Cassettes

Pros Easy programming

Cons Ongoing expense

Recommended it? Yes

It seems like Video Cassette Recorders have been around forever. They have been around long enough that the difficulty of setting them up to automatically record a program for what has become known as "time-shifting" has entered legendary status. The somewhat fragile cassettes necessary with these... Read full review »

Alright, this year Santa brought TiVo to our house and after 2 months of usage the feelings are mixed towards this new companion. It does pretty much everything it claims to be, but there is enough room for improvement that keeps us from getting all too excited at this point.
