Philips HDR112 Tivo Digital Video Recorder
Revolutionary Product
...TiVo is simply a first rate consumer electronicproduct.  As others have attested, it has changed the way I watch TV -FOREVER!<br />The features are wonderful.  I am watching more QUALITY TV than I ever have in my life.  There is no need to watch commercials and hardly a need/nor desire to watch live TV.<br />When I come home every day there is a cornucopia of interesting and entertaining T.V. programs waiting for me to watch.<br />No more looking for tapes, remembering to set the VCR (if you can figure it out), making sure the tape is cued, remembering what shows are on what tapes, finding them later etc. etc.<br />If a show is recording when I come home I don't have to wait for it to end.  I just watch it from the beginning as TiVo records the rest of the show and I catch up skipping commercials along the way.<br />Great TV that you would never have watched, you now record without a thought because it is easy and effortless.  If you're a movie buff you'll finally get to see all those movies you've always wanted to see but didn't bother tracking through the TV guide at 3:30 am.<br />TiVo does not invade my privacy in any way.  TiVo does NOT monitor me in any way that I do not explicitly want it to monitor me.<br />There are no &quot;hidden&quot; fees.  The subscription fee is made known up front and if you purhase the life-time subscription the total cost comes out to the cost of a RePlay TV that doesn't charge a subscription.<br />Their customer service folks are very helpful and first rate.  You can't go wrong buying a TiVo.
