Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Tivo needs some work
I think the product is a fine idea, but of 2 units purchased, both proved defective; the first had a large number of artifacts in the picture; the second alternately lost sound or picture after operating for about 5 minutes. The frustating thing is you have to go through the entire setup  (measured in hours) before you can see if it will work. Tivo is a product  whose time has not yet come- I doubt I will try a third. I got one of the  first Replay TV units-the remote control was poorly designed and the unit  was noisy-at least Tivo solved that-if they could only make it work!
