TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
It will change your life
I think most of the other reviews have the details of the system covered.  Simply put, I love my Tivo and have had no problems with it at all.<br />The one thing I'd like to add is the recommendation to purchase the 40 hour model (this one) instead of a larger version.  If you want more recording time, just do the upgrade yourself.  Companies (such as weaknees and others) make kits that contain everything you need to add capacity to your Tivo and give you much more recording time for your money.
