Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
So far --- GREAT!
This unit took 5-10 minutes to install; of course the system set-up time took longer, but this was done while I slept. I've had the unit for 2 months and so far have not had any problems at all. The only function my VCR now has is as a playback unit for prerecorded tapes. I don't anticipate using the VCR for anything else for the forseeable future. I've read a great deal about how Tivo will change your viewing habits and this is entirely true. Two very small recommendations (I should note that these may already be available. I haven't had much need to read the manual, so I haven't searched these out too well): 1. It would be helpful for the system to tell you how much recording time you have left. i have a 30-hour unit which ought to be plenty, but 2. the default for recording is &quot;best&quot; quality, which uses a great deal more space than &quot;normal&quot;, which works fine for me. Perhaps the default can be set for &quot;normal&quot; to maximize the available time.  Again, these are very minor considerations.
