Philips HDR212 TiVo 20 Hour Digital Video Recorder
Installation was not so simple
Setting up the Tivo was simple to plug everything in, but the software was quite out of date upon installation. I was so anxious to use the Tivo, but was considerably delayed. I had to let the Tivo make it's daily call and download the updated software and then install it. Took about an extra hour to download and install and then another 5-6 hours to be able to fully use the unit. My advice: after getting the Tivo going, force it to make it's daily call to download the updated software before doing anything else. This will save you a minor headache.<br />Otherwise, this thing is great. If you have a lot of shows or movies that you would like to regularly record, you should purchase a larger unit. I have DirecTV and the recording at basic quality is not that great, but it's tolerable. So far, medium quality does just fine. I've found the 'Tivo Recommendations' to be useless with this unit because there is such limited storage space to begin with.
