Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
TV Freedom, at last !
My favorite thing about TiVo is that YOU are in control. YOU decide when to watch your favorite shows. YOU decide whether or not to watch commercials. YOU don't have to wait for a commercial to use the bathroom. YOU don't have to miss a funny line just 'cuz the pizza delivery-man is ringing your doorbell. It's really TV freedom! At first the thumbs up/down wasn't doing much but now it's picking some good stuff for me. It's great to turn on the TV and find a 'surprise'.  Since the other reveiwers have already described the features... I would add: (1)With auto-filtering and the TiVo channel guide, channel surfing speed isn't too bad. (2)The remote is ergonomic, light, and VERY easy to 'memorize' so you can use it without looking at it. (3)The menu is so easy it only takes me about 5 seconds to start watching a recorded show.<br />Bottom Line: Very high fun/price ratio, BUY it.
