Philips HDR612 TiVo 60 Hour Digital Video Recorder
I couldn't live without my Tivo.
It's impossible to put into words what TiVo will do for you.  To most it seems like a glorified VCR.  However, only until you spend some time with TiVo you will truly begin to see how incredibly convenient the product really is.  I don't watch any more TV than I used to, I am just better at it. :)  Now I really do watch what I want, when I want.  <br />I bought the 14 hour Phillips unit when it first came out and recently performed a &quot;custom upgrade&quot; to 60 hours.  The unit has been running flawlessly for well over a year now and I have had no problems.  I'm currently running TiVo with a AT&amp;T Digital Cable and a Motorola Cablebox without any compatibility problems (I'm not sure what the other reviewer was doing wrong).  <br />Recently the TiVo operating system was upgraded to Version 2.0.1. This new version addresses the problem of a Season Pass taping shows you don't want and adds many nice features that TiVo users have suggested (keyword search, future program notification, season pass manager, etc).<br />I'm a TiVo believer.. great product, incredible convenience, can't recommend it enough!
