Pros: EASY EASY EASY to use, changes your life Cons: not quite perfect yet, but DAMN close
I guarantee it. This is not a product that you will buy and simply put aside and forget about it. That's how indispensible it is. I explain the reasons why in the "Why get a digital VCR" section of Tivo/Replay.
Pros: Attractive, stylish, modern. Jam-packed with features, upgradable. The Sony reputation, the TiVo service. Cons: More expensive brand. Less friendly for DIY storage additions. Update (7/10/04): Sony modems die often!
WARNING: This is a somewhat verbose article. If you read the entire thing, you will learn something about me, and the product I own, in addition to the context of how I bought it, how I'm enjoying or not enjoying it, and the environment ...
Pros: Amazing 'smart' Sony product that makes TV recording and home-life much easier! Cons: A little pricey, slow to make major technological improvements, suggests some strange shows
When people find out I have a TIVO..they always ask very innocently 'How do you like it?'. HOW DO I LIKE IT? I could be TIVO's spokesperson on how much I love it. I got it about 9 months ago and have been seriously addicted ever since. I love TV...
Pros: It will change the way you watch television! Cons: Can't tape two shows at once.
I used to want to watch Siskel and Ebert's movie reviews. I never could remember when the show was on and usually missed it. Not any more. Siskel is gone, but the movie review show lives on and I've got a season pass.
Pros: simple to use, great features, easily better than a VCR Cons: some unexpected interface behaviour, open source would be nice :)
I actually won my Tivo by entering a competition on www.tivo.com - they were giving away ten a day, so I figured my odds were pretty good. I recently got DirectTV service and realized that for $50/mth I really wasn't catching a lot of good programs. My...
Pros: Easy to use, performs as advertised, sophisticated technology with simple interface. Cons: Program guide is a little slow compared with a plain vanilla DirecTV receiver
A few Sundays ago, my cable company decided to "upgrade" my neighborhood with digital cable. In the process, they cut off my cable and internet access for one week. By Wednesday, I had done the research at work to find a viable alternative to cable. I...
Pros: image quality, thumbs-up, good remote Cons: jump-back feature
If you read my opinion earlier, you know I hadn't planned on discussing the capabilities of the Tivo and hard disk video recorders (HDVRs, for lack of a better term) in general, but these details have been requested. It does make for a more complete...
Pros: Tivo is a godsend for busy people who don't have time to remember TV schedules. Cons: Unhelpful Sony tech support. Sometimes records the same program several times.
Tivo is, in all, a godsend! I have an insane, inconsistent work schedule, and the furthest thing from my mind is remembering when my favorite TV shows are on.
When a friend showed me his Tivo, I was smitten by the "Season Pass" option, which...
Pros: Saves space. Great picture, Surprised by value of TiVo. Dolby Digital Cons: Initial Audio problems. Slow.

This review is for the SAT-T60 model. My brother-in-law has been trying to talk me into adding a TiVo unit to my home theater for several months, but I never understood the full value. You see I had a...
Pros: pause live TV, smart recording, only need one remote Cons: awkward remote, box is silver instead of black
I’ve often wished for a replay button when watching TV—the dog barks just as the newscaster says something important, I turn the TV on 5 minutes after a sitcom has started, I missed the phone number in the commercial, etc. My wishes have been fulfilled...
Pros: Ease of use, feature rich, simple remote Cons: Occasionally hangs, some picture degradation, cannot control non-Sony VCRs
Probably the biggest regret I have about purchasing a Sony TIVO player is that I got DirecTV digital satellite shortly thereafter and should have purchased the unit that integrates a satellite receiver with the TIVO functionality, rather than needing two...
Pros: Great Looks, Easy to Use, Great Features Cons: None
If you've read my other opinions, you should know that I am a huge Sony fan. I waited to buy my first Digital Video Recorder until Sony made one. Let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. Sony hasn't let me down yet!!
Pros: Easiest way to record the shows you like; looks for new shows for you Cons: More expensive than a VCR; have to pay extra for the Tivo service
I bought my Tivo about a month ago, after listening to a few online friends rave about theirs. At first, I spent a lot of time debating whether or not I should buy the unit. I really don't watch TV all that much, after all. But then I decided it might...
Pros: Watch what you want, when you want; remote control; amazing features Cons: Can't think of any
It will change your life. Within 3 weeks. First, if you don't watch a lot of TV, you probably aren't interested in Tivo, so if you are reading this, you definitely watch and love TV. Well, Tivo will absolutely make your time in front of the old boob...
Play, pause, fast-forward, or rewind "live" television broadcasts as you're watching them 30 hours' recording time; uses the TiVo hard-disk recorder p...More at Amazon Marketplace
