TiVo TCD540040 Series2 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Anyone who has TIVO says the same thing..."Changed my life"
I know I won't be able to fully describe how great a product this is but I'll try.     Sure you can pause, rewind and slow-mo live TV,  but the bottom line is that since I got Tivo I never miss a show I want to watch.  I don't even know what day or time my favorite shows are broadcast on TV anymore or care. With the Tivo Season Pass the programs I want to see just show up on my \\"now playing\\" list. Then I watch them and skip the commercials. It's freakin amazing. I can NEVER go back to life pre-Tivo.      I've talked to other people who have tried other DVRs (Time Warner, Replay) and they all say the same thing \\"I wish I had Tivo instead.\\" Its the software, ease of use and dependability that make Tivo great.      I bought my unit three years ago and at the time it was $500.   It was worth every penny then.  Now its only $100 dollars.  Nuff said.
