Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
TiVo is Great!
This is a wonderful product for busy people.  If you even have just two or three tv shows you watch every week, this gadget will make your life simpler.  With a VCR, it's a chore to keep track of videotapes, moving program schedules, etc.  TiVo makes all of this easy.  The remote control  and on screen programming are incredibly easy to use and well thought out.   It even sets the clock itself!<br />The slogan sounds trite, but it's  true...with TiVo, there's always something on.  And it's on when you want  it to be, and it's easy to skip commercials.  I watch a lot of sports, and  it's great for that.<br />The TiVo programming service is worth it, too.  If  you have the money up front, go for the lifetime membership.
