Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
The best purchase I ever made
I bought a TIVO 30meg system about 3 months ago.  I have been nothing but pleased with it.  The quality of the recording is excellent even at the basic level which provides 30 hours of program storage.  The controls are  intuitive.  It is easy to do basic &quot;house cleaning&quot; to keep the  number of programs being stored in order.  Most of all it is fun to use.   Before purchasing I was concerned about the quality of picture recorded at  the basic or least dense level frankly on my TV (standard color model) I  can not tell the diference between the basic storage and most advanced and  both are great.  The freeze frame gives great quality.  Sometimes I  will  disect a music video, comercial, or program trailer to see  what makes them  click.  Again amazing ... If there were a sixth star I'd give it to this  product.  Also the automated program guide it is great and very flexible.   Even my wife, a &quot;techno hater&quot; likes the system and the program  guide.
