TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Are you kidding? TIVO ROCKS!
I have no idea why this thing warrants such complicated reviews. It is GREAT. There is always something on television that you will like, once you get Tivo. You come home, you click on what's showing and you pick from an HBO movie or a Simpsons rerun or last week's episode of your favorite sitcom. Stagger your watching of a show - join it like 20 minutes later and zoom through commercials. Watch what you want, when you want. A quick setup and you don't have to rush home to see Project Runway. It will be waiting for you. Tell Tivo you love Elizabeth Taylor - got it. It'll find Cleopatra showing at four am. I have never had mine die or reboot or anything of the nature. <br />Once you get it, you'll never go back to the way it was - especially since the prices keep falling.  BTW, for a couple, 40 hours will be plenty of recording time for you if you intend to watch then erase. I have yet to fill ours.
