Sony SVR-2000 Digital Video Recorder
The revolution is here folks!
I instantly fell in love with my machine.  I heard about it alot but it is helpful to actually see it work in order to get the full impact.  It is essentially like a VCR on steroids and then some.  Contrary to another reviewer, you CAN watch one thing while tivo records another - you just have to split the signal.  That is easy and the parts at radio shack will cost you (...) and the Tivo help line will guide you if needed.  I called them 10 times in the first week and they were great.  The ability to pause live shows and rewind has become a great feature for me where as at first it seemed a bit if a gimmick.  I cant go into all the features - there are many.  Suffice it to say, it it breaks tomorrow, I would get another one.  It is a bargain at twice the price.  My only gripe is that the tivo remote does not have a TV/VIDEO button on it which you need to watch one show and tape another.  This means I cant toss my tv remote away.  Big deal I guess.  Installation can be a bit tricky if you have a bunch of components like me, DVD/VCR/TV, but the customer service will be there for you.  ENJOY.  Hope this helped you.
