TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Highly Recommend...10 Stars!!!!
There is plenty of technical information available here so I won't be adding anymore.  I will say this is the best new product our family has even gotten.  You may think you don't need TiVo but I found it to be similar to getting a cell phone.  You don't know its value until you actually get one.  Sure, you can live without a DVR but really, why would you want to?<br /><br />I feel the biggest benefit of the 140 hour model is the ability it has to handle entire seasons of your favorite shows.  You never have to worry about missing an episode since you can just click one button, one time and have the DVR take care of the rest.<br /><br />Pausing live TV is the best feature with losing commercials a close second. I really enjoy searching by actor, a nice feature.<br /><br />I actually got mine through my satellite company and if you have a dish, you might need a second one installed.  The biggest benefit of going through them is the monthly service fee is only 4.95.  That's a big savings and they installed the additional dish for free.<br /><br />TiVo will change the way you watch TV and change it for the better.  Highly recommended!!
