Sony SVR-2000 Digital Video Recorder
TiVo is great; Sony is a rip off
My Sony SRV2000 worked fine for six months. First month into the lifetime subscription the Sony unit died.<br />TiVo is willing to work things out with me w/r/t my product lifetime subscription.<br />Sony on the other hand has offered to let ME PAY to repair the unit, only $92/hour for labor plus shipping. Sony calls this \\"warranty service.\\" I can buy a competitor's product for less than the Sony service bill.<br />The TiVo service is great.<br />Don't buy Sony's products: they're overpriced and Sony doesn't stand behind them.
