TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Love TiVo, Love having control over what I watch
So previously to TiVo I would set a VCR to record my shows and many times I would miss a show due to the fact times change frequently for shows, sometimes they even add an extra minute or so a few weeks. After installing TiVo I had no problems with missing any of my shows again. I record on average about 10+ hrs of TV a week and now with TiVo I only watch about 8 because its so easy to skip the commercials and have control of what I am watching.<br /><br />I have this TiVo box working perfectly with my DirectTV box using the IR device. It is so easy to use that a child could pick up the remote and be working TiVo flawlessly in minutes.<br /><br />I would give TiVo 5 stars, but sometimes TiVo just seems a little slow for me. It has a 1-2 second pause when switching from Live mode to TiVo mode and I just wish it would go a little quicker. Nothing to cry home to mom about though.
