TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Already Obsolete
Tivo was a neat idea when it first appeared and, customer support issues aside, it delivered as promised. However, now that DVD recorders with 160 Gig hard drives are available for only a couple hundred dollars more, paying a subscription fee for Tivo is a complete waste of money. Even if you don't want to burn DVDs, these new machines let you save all of your recorded shows to a huge hard drive that will work better than Tivo. The clincher is that you don't have to pay a subsciption fee! I'm afraid Tivo is going the way of the dinosaurs, and rightly so. Their customer service and user interface were awful! <br /> <br />
