Pros: Watch TV when you want to.
Cons: Have to watch what you are taping
This is the greatest invention since sliced bread. I have the Phillips 30 hour recorder. I wish it was a 60 hour because if you want to record in high quality it only tapes 9 1/2 hours. You can tape in medium quality for 19 hours and low is the 30...

Pros: Excellent video quality, easy recording and pauses live TV
Cons: Very difficult setup, more expensive than a VCR
Tivo will change the way you watch TV, if you can get through the setup process. If your VCR is blinking '12:00' right now, this isn't the toy for you.
The Tivo is somewhere between a VCR and a computer. It's very sophisticated: it knows TV...

Pros: Watch what you want, when you want. No commercials!
Cons: Monthly fee or large payment to Tivo
I love my Tivo!! Worth every dime, don't know how I ever lived without one! If non-Tivo owners realized the benefits EVERYONE would have one! The interface is very well done and the remote has just the right number of features and fits well in the hand....

Pros: Can record a tv show if you are going to miss it.
Cons: instalation
I am a brand new user of Tivo. I just got it in my home this past weekend. I am still trying to figure out how to use it. My friends have it also, and say that once you use it a few times, its as easy as getting dressed. I am a dancer and I have several...

Pros: great
Cons: none
I love TiVo!!!!!! No tapes at all!The best part is that you can do Slow Mo and Instant Replay while watching live tv! And you can watch a show anytime you want to! With TiVo you can see if a show is good with its rating system. Thats definity a change...

Pros: No video tape, pause LIVE TV, rewind LIVE TV, your favorite shows always recorded
Cons: Hard to set up
Tivo is the greatest invention since the personal computer. If you froze me and woke me up in the year 2100 and said there was this new invention called a Tivo, I would think it was amazing even a hundred years from now. You will never sit down in front...

Pros: price
Cons: freezing, changing, poor design
After fighting with a TiVo for a week I returned it. Here's why: 1. It changes the channel you are viewing. Sometimes it asks you, most often it does not. 2. The picture/frame freezes (OFTEN). Sometimes for 10-20 seconds, sometimes forever. 3....

Pros: Extremely easy to use, never miss your favorite shows
Cons: May cause you to ignore other parts of your life
I got a TiVo to easily record all of the soccer games I used to miss out on. The interface makes it simple to find what you want to record and with a few clicks of the remote you're all set to go. I set up a keyword for soccer which allows me to see...

Pros: A great idea
Cons: Cost, limited technology
Ok, I do not actually own tivo, but my brother does (I am not sure if it is the 300 model). I visited him recently and got a taste of what this thing is all about. It is a very neat service. You can watch your favorite shows at your own pace. You can...

Pros: Pause Live TV, Season Pass, FF Through Commercials
Cons: Price
I absolutely love my tivo. I really don't know how I ever lived without it. I can set up a season pass and not have to worry about remembering to tape it or if the tape was in like I would for the ancient technology of the vcr. A season pass is when...
