TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
Amazing .... my own personal TV channel
Quite simply this box has changed the way I watch TV. Once you start using TiVo you'll never be able to go back to the way it was before.<br />In the old days, lets call it .... before TiVo, I could never find anything to watch when I sat down at the end of the day. I was paying a small fortune for cable TV only to hop between the reality shows that litter the airwaves. Now, in the year of TiVo, I have more good TV to watch than time to watch it. Yes, good TV!!!!! Not a reality show in sight. <br />After a few days TiVo learnt my tastes and now it auto-records shows it thinks I will like. I am able to fine turn the auto-record by giving shows the thumbs up if I like it and the thumbs down if I don't. It's uncanny that it has my tastes pegged.<br />Setup of the box is easy and the additon of a (LinkSys USB) wireless network device enables it to use my home network instead of dialling in over the phone line. I would however suggest protecting your investment by putting it on a UPS (battery backup).<br />I paid the $$$ lifetime (life of the box) subscription rather than the $$$ per month. I'll be ahead after two short years.<br />In summary ...... what a great piece of technology. Buy it and enjoy it.
