Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
TOO COOL
I was going to wait to buy the 30 hour TIVO. But I just could not stand it.  And I am glad I did not wait.  I have direct tv and it interfaces easily with a data cable.  Installation was simple though lengthy.  Plan on  about 3 hours of setup of which 20 minutes must be attended.  The menus are  easy to navigate and the thing NEVER crashes (unlike Windows).  Resolution  is pretty good at the 18 hr capacity unless you watch alot of sports then  the 14 hr capacity is fine.  Drawbacks:  Setup takes a while.  Sometimes  the wait for the Tv menu listing can take a while, minor problem.  Must  leave your DSS box powered up all the time to record.  Great product, price  will drop some more soon and Sony is coming out with one also in April or  May.  Get this and never watch junk TV again.
