Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Oh.  My.  Goodness.
I got my HDR312 about a month ago now, and I find I can't avoid sounding cliche here...it's changed the way that I watch television.  I never watch commercials anymore (the three speed fast forward makes them unnecessary  now) and I find that even if there's something on live that I want to watch  I'll wait until it's at least half over before I watch it, so I can fast  forward :)  Seriously though, the program guide means never having to look  up showtimes or channels again, and has pointed me to a couple of shows I  didn't even think were on anymore.<br />Basically, TiVo rocks!
