Yes While spending a few hundred dollars to invest in a Tivo player isn't on the top of everyones list of things to do, it does save a ton of time, effort, and aggravation if your looking tape things on television a lot.

Read full review » 1 You'll wonder how you lived without it! bykrmmogrt Mar 7, 2005 7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Pros Very smart software, EASY to use, YOU own it (not cable company). Cons Curious future with cable DVR competition. Pricey without rebates. Recommended it? Yes We've had TIVO (140 hour) for 5 months and love it. So much so we may get another (40 hour) for the upstairs TV. Subscripton service (12.95/month and 6.95 for multiples) is well worth it.

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 » Read All Reviews »
