Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Tivo:  Get One !!!
I have had my Tivo for 6 months and it's the single best electronic improvement to enter my home - ever.  Easy program selection, fast scanning and dedicated, professional customer support staff that will answer your questions and solve your problems.  If you have a digital video signal (such as DirecTv) and a Dolby sound system, you'll love it even more. You'll never use your VCR again (except for old movies you just can't find anywhere else but the local video store).
