benicia's Full Review: TiVo TCD652160 180-Hours Video Recorder
My TIVO HD 20 hour Series 3  (ends in mfg 2160) was activated on December 14th, 2009.  It ended its life on February 22, 2009. 

A life of just 9 weeks.

Despite its warranty, I was offered a used/refurbished unit as a replacement.  It is up to me to pay for shipping the unit back to TIVO as well.

I will give credit to Tivo's tech suppoort for trying to do all that it could to revive the unit but TIVO's replacement plan for a 9 week old unit is pathetic.

I'm not one that supports extended warranty options but in this case, I'd suggest it as working directly with TIVO was not positive.

On the other hand, IF Netflix offered more than a few titles to stream or upload to it, that feature would have been great.

PICASA (by Google) was excellent for the short 9 weeks that it worked.

My unit was best for ordering a pizza from Domino's online if in fact I would even order a pizza from Domino's.

Much hype about nothing.
