TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Amazing Device!
I watch a lot of TV.. Way too much in fact. I was working part time and used all my free time trying to watch all the shows I like. Now I work full time and I was missing most of my favorite shows. I've always wanted a TiVo but now I had a real reason to get one. [...]<br /><br />So I put a 160 gig hard drive in my TiVo and now I have a 230 hour TiVo! (at basic quality)<br /><br />Pausing live TV alone is worth the $70, but the interface, features (such as Season Pass and the Wishlist) are amazing. It's well worth the money.<br /><br />If you don't care about your warranty, or if your warranty expires you can upgrade your TiVo too, it's real easy. There are sites online that will tell you how to do it, or you can just buy a kit from Weaknees.com. Their kits are already set up (the hard drives have the correct software on them already so you don't need a computer to set up anything), just open the TiVo, plop in the new hard drive with bracket and you're done!<br /><br />Another nice feature is how TiVo is able to use broadband to get it's updates so you don't have to have a phone line (the initial set up requires a phone line but there are ways to get broadband to work the first time too)<br /><br />If you bought a TiVo and are signing up, if you could use my email when it asks who told you about tivo I'd be very happy, since I will get TiVo Rewards points which can get me free TiVo stuff (such as a free TiVo USB broadband adapter)<br /><br />Get a TiVo, it's amazing!
