Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Yes, you want it.
TiVo is absolutely the best piece of AV gear I've ever had the pleasure of owning. All the talk of &quot;it changes the way you watch TV&quot; is true. It has so many wonderful features I don't know where to begin. A lot  of it's press deals with the pausing live TV feature (which is great), but  I think it's real strengths have to do with it's recording capabilities and  &quot;suggestions&quot;. If you never have time to see a favorite  show/movie, don't want the hassle of programming a VCR, or feel like  &quot;there's never anything good on TV&quot; - the TiVo is for you.  Everyone I've shown the unit to has wanted one. Several friends bought  their own TiVos immediately after seeing mine. The price is steep, but I  haven't regretted this purchase.
