Sony SVR-2000 Digital Video Recorder
Don't listen to the negatives - Tivo and Sony ROCK!!!
Before I purchased my SVR-2000 I read every single review that I could find on this model of TIVO.I actually got a little scared that the remote control would be this terribly awkward thing that I would hate. The remote is designed to be held from the bottom. Someone said that the buttons you use most often are on the top. I don't know what buttons they're using, but this remote feels perfect to me. I bought this model because I have never had any trouble with a Sony product. So far it has totally lived up to its name.<br />    Tivo is incredible. You've probably heard this a million times by now, but I will never go back to watching TV the old way again. Pausing TV is awesome. I have used it so many times. Its also awesome to be able to just hit your now playing list and have program after sweet program to watch. One really awesome thing that people neglect to mention is that you can watch a program on your recorded list whil TIVO is recording another show or that same show. I came in about an hour late last week and I was recording the Wizards game. I started watching it from the beginning and after fast forwarding through all the commercials and half time I came within a few minutes of finishing watching the game at the same time it actually ended. <br />    Don't listen to any of the nay sayers Sony and TIVO are totally awesome. Your life will change!!!
