Philips HDR212 TiVo 20 Hour Digital Video Recorder
TiVo will change your life for the better
When I finally got a TiVo, I couldn't figure out how I've gotten along in life without one. When I tell people that I finally got a TiVo, they're like, \\"What's a TiVo?\\"...so I have to explain. And then after I explain what it is, they don't seem that impressed. The most impressive thing is seeing it in action. After actually SHOWING the TiVo to friends, ALL of them want one. I am an electronic gadget fanatic.. digital cameras, PS2, computers, remote commander, CD changers, etc..  but out of all of these TiVo is my favorite.<br />There are so many fantastic television shows out there, but I never really understood how many until I got TiVo. If you see something you like, just press on your remote and get a 'Season Pass' for it and it'll record every showing.   Pausing LIVE TV is so handy too. Phone call comes in..  hit pause. Gotta go to the bathroom.. hit pause. Kitchen is on fire ...  hit pause.<br />And if you have standard cable, it'll make you feel like you have a satellite dish or digital cable with it's onscreen guide.. just press the 'Guide' button and you can see what's coming on at any time... (screw waiting for that annoying scroll on the Prevue/TV Guide Channel)<br />I can go on and on about how great TiVo is. The $10/mo fee is pennies.. i'd pay up to $50/mo for this thing. If you're wavering on whether you should get one or not, just do it. Trust me... you will love yourself for it.
