Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
A good ideas but ...
Three TiVo's later I've finally ordered a Replay TV.  The TiVo is a fine machine, when it works, but is hobbled by one of the flakiest and most trouble prone modems ever attached to a piece of consumer electronics, and  a system of setting up and customer service that takes 45 minutes just to  find the time of day.  Living in an apartment building with a noisy phone  line I had the good fortune to burn out two modems, each lasting about 48  hours.  When my third machine turned out to be already registered to an  account that had been suspended I gave up and ordered the Replay.<br />Still  -- while it worked it pointed me in the direction of some great  movies.<br />Great price too ... luckily Circuit City tell me that Phillips  will take back any returns, no questions aksed -- maybe they know something  we don't?
