Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Simply the best consumer electronic product I've ever bought
I've got just about every type of consumer electonics product on the market, and in many cases 2 or more of each. For example, before I bought the TIVO I had 6 VCRs in the house. Today they are rarely used. The best  HiFi VCR is nice, but pales in comparison to TIVO.<br />TIVO is like having  multiple VCRs in one room because it allows me record one program while  watching another. But it's better than that. No tapes to worry about. No  timers to set. No forgetting to program your VCR for favorite shows. No  more being disappointed to find that your favorite show was on a different  night or time this week. With TIVO's  season passes, I never miss an  episode of Law and Order or any other program I regularly watch. Tell TIVO  what you like. Rate some programs that you've watched and let it go to work  searching for things you might like to watch.<br />TIVO takes the hassle out  of TV. You never have to rush home to watch ANYTHING. If you like to watch  TV, but are frustrated that there is never anything good on when you can  watch it, then TIVO is for you.<br />Of the many thousands of dollars I've  spent of technology, the [money] I spent on TIVO is the best investment I've  made. Buy one and I know you'll agree.
