Pros: Tivo is great.
Cons: Philips are unreliable, and do not take corrective action at their expense.
The Bottom Line: WARNING, DO NOT BUY A TIVO OR SAT/TIVO COMBO FROM PHILIPS

| randycanada's Full Review: Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Servic... |
I have had overwhelming problems with Philips. I have right now 8 DSR 6000's (TIVO with Direct TV tuner) and 1 stand alone that do not work.
Repair quote is $109 and they are/where still under partial warranty. I only paid $99 at Circuit city for the units.
Salesman at Circuit City confirms they have had a lot of problems. They also have a lot of problems with the modem in the unit. Can buy new ones for $199 made by Hughes, but will be out subscription cost of $250. I believe they will transfer to another unit.
Philips has a problem, but it's the consumer who has to pay the price. I will no longer buy anything from Philips that someone else makes. The Sony Sat/TIVO I bought also is bad. That's 9 non working units, with repair cost that are higher than the sales price of the units new. If I was an attorney I would start a class action suite against them for making a defective unit, they don't stand behind.
Too bad. I already have a Pronto remote that I love, and don't believe any one else makes anything like it. DO NOT BUY PHILIPS...THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS.
