TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
So Easy, Anyone Can Use Tivo
I have been a Tivo subscriber for over 3 years and use both the first and second generation Tivo recorders and can't understand the people that seem to have problems with it.  Both of my units work flawlessly.  When recorded in the \\"best\\" picture mode, you can't tell if you are watching live TV or Tivo.  I don't care how good your VCR is, you could never make that statement, especially on a 50\\"+ TV.  And this has to be among the most intuitive products ever made.  I can teach a babysitter or my mther-in-law how to use it in ten minutes or less.  <BR>As for those that say they suffered from a picture degradation when watching through the Tivo tuner, I must admit that the pictures color is slightly more washed out when watching live TVthrough the Tivo tuner, but this can easily be overcome by adjusting your set.  You also can (and I recommend this if you want to record one show while watching another) use a cable splitter hooking one end to Tivo and the other to your TV to insure that you can get a premium picture for certain shows.<BR>All in all, this has been one of the best purchases I have ever made.
