Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
TiVo is everything I'd hoped it would be
I've had my TiVo now for just under a week, and I already can't imagine going back to watching TV without it.  The ability to pause and rewind live TV is nice, but I find that with TiVo, I rarely watch live TV anymore at  all.  TiVo knows what shows I want to watch, and it makes sure they're  available whenever I want to watch them.<br />I also have to mention that the  documentation is among the best I've ever seen with a consumer-electronics  product.  It's extremely well written and thorough, and even though TiVo  setup can be complex, the guide presents several different scenarios with  clear instructions for each.<br />This is how everyone will watch TV in a few  years.
