Hi pvd&tiesto4life,

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.

With my series 2 TiVO I can transfer recordings to my computer, edit them if desired then record them to a DVD. This feature will be available to series 3 TiVo’s in November.

You can also allow TiVO to share pictures and music from your computer. It will play the music and slide shows on your TV.

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.

To learn all about TiVO check their web site here - https://www3.tivo.com

Check the TiVO user forum here - http://www.tivocommunity.com

The TiVO Community Store often has good bargains for TiVOs or accessories. Check them for current pricing along with your local Best Buy - http://store.tivocommunity.com/merchant....

You need either a phone line or internet connection for TiVO to download software updates and program information.

I hope this helps you make the best decision.

In simple terms, think of Tivo as a VCR with a hard drive.
You can use Tivo's guide to ask tivo to record your show when its time comes - you can't go into the future.... - then watch it when you have time.
Tivo is not the only DVR. Both Satellite and Cable companies offer now Tivo-like set-top boxes. If you get one, get one with two tuners, so you can record one program and watch another, or record two programs at the same time.
