Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Best New Product Out There
I compared TiVo with my friends Replay and Microsofts WebTV versions, and Tivo is by far the best.  Replay is not as user friendly, with the remote a bit awkward.  Also Replay is very loud, and the clicking of the hard drive can be quite bothersome, especially if you have it in your bedroom.<br />TiVo's layout is very intuitive and can easily be used.  The recording menu is very simple that I didn't even have to read the manual to understand how it works.  I've had my TiVo for over a year and a half now, and it runs smoothly with no problems or glitches.  It did not crash on me or miss a program yet,  (maybe because it is using the Linux based OS).<br />I love Microsoft but WebTV is not up to par with the quality and consistency as Tivo.  I love this product.<br />-Mar
