Answer 1

Hi Princess,

TiVo is a DVR that has a very simplified user interface.

We prefer TiVO because of simplicity of use. The schedule is always correct because it is updated every day. I can program TiVO to record from out of town over the Internet. TiVO learns what you like and recommends shows that you might like. Often times we never would have known they were on. You can program an entire season of a given series with a single click and TiVO never forgets. You can tell TiVO you like someone or something and it will locate shows for you. For example if you tell it you like John Wayne it will watch for and record anything he is on.

I could go on and on about TiVO. There is one downside and that is the monthly (you can pay yearly if you want) fee.

You can buy a TiVo at stires like radioshack and all they do is you can record your favorite shows and watch them when ever you like and you can get season passes were it automatically records the whole season of your favorite show. Tivos are pretty pricey though.

Answer 3

A popular manufacturer of digital video recorders.
TiVo systems can function similarly to VCRs, but use non-removable hard-disk storage, and contain much more sophisticated software to record programming - not only programs the user specifically requests, but also other material the user is likely to be interested in. ...
