TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
Owned it for 2 years now... LOVE IT !
In 2 years we have had no problems at all with the TiVO box itself (80 hrs version), and the remote is still in excellent shape, which is really surprising considering the very, very heavy daily use of some of its buttons. <br /> <br />I started updating the programming over the phone line, but now I am doing it over my wireless LAN with an adapter. I read a comment about this not working for a user after testing 3 adapter models, but I am guessing that he did not notice that Tivo requires a VERY specific adapter model (e.g. \\"Netgear WG111* -- Only serial numbers starting with WG72.\\"). <br />I bought the then obsolete adapter from eBay, and no problem ! <br /> <br />The only complain I have, is that the latest software upgrades have somewhat slowed down the response, and I have also noticed that the connection to the wireless LAN is lost sometimes lost, and need to reboot Tivo to restore connection to the LAN. <br /> <br />But all these are minor faults on a great product. My family can not imagine TV without Tivo ! <br />We love it so much we are not switching to HDTV until Tivo figures out a way to offer Tivo in High Definition, to support bigger screens with HDTV.
