Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
More TiVo is better TiVo
I'm now a two TiVo family! Iput my model 112 in my bedroomand hooked up my model 312 tomy living room televison.My new 312 looks identical to the112 but does weigh a few morepounds.I now have enough storage capacity to  record just about everything I'd wantto see that comes out of thecable  company's wire!The onlythings I watch live anymoreare news and sports.I use  my312 to record mostly movies and documentaries.I use my112 in the bedroom  to recordStar Trek and 20/20.I lovewatching an episode of Trekevery night  before slumbering.The 312 is everything the 112is but double the  recordingcapacity. Be warned that thisis not really a 30 hour unit!The  lowest record quality (basic) will yield 30 hours ofrecording but the  quality stinks! Basic quality is best-suited for recording radio! The three  higher video qualities designated medium,high,and best all look goodon my  32 inch TV.I use mostlymedium and high,so my &quot;30 hourunit&quot; gives  me 14 to 18 hoursof space.The big model,312,isvery-much the one to get  ifyou want to grab movies offpremium channels,like I do.If you have a big  projectionTV,you might want to use &quot;best&quot; video quality for  movies.You would stille get9 hours of space with the 312.The small unit  would only hold4 hours at &quot;best&quot; quality,noteven enough space for  two longmovies.I have a Super VHS VCRand TiVo equals or surpassesit in  every respect.The onlything I use it for is to duba program off TiVo that I  wantto keep,ocassionally.I no longer care what time showsor movies run  in.Networkschedules are irrelevant to me.TiVo puts me in charge.TiVo comes  with more cablesthan any other audio/videodevice I've ever bought.There's  no way you'llhave to run to the store fora cable.S-video,RCA  type,IRblaster,serial (to controlsattelite or cable box),50feet of  telephone wire,justabout anything you might need,it's included!Buy TiVo if  youwant to grab all the bestprograming off your TV serviceand watch it at  your convience.Buy thebig unit,model 312,if you need space torecord  movies.If all you wantto do is record a few shortshows a week buy the  littleunit,model 112.If you're anaudio vidiot like me buy both!Take control  of your TV withTiVo, you'll be glad you did!
