We are very satisfied with the TiVo. It was easy to set up . We also purchased from Amazon the wireless cable at your suggestion. Awesome! My oldest son suggested that I go to Amazon for the...
Bought this product after hooking it up I found out you need a telephone jack behind your tv to plug in a phone connection which would tie up my phone line while the TiVo calls to get the tv...
Tivo is really not easy to set up and the support has not been useful. I purchased the Tivo thinking it would give me more control over my viewing of televison. But after several...
Commoditization: it's the mortal enemy of the distinctive branding that's so prized by companies the world over. And it's exactly the affliction that's befallen TiVo. Even though ReplayTV beat it...
I was double billed for a year (prepaid for full year and my credit card was billed the monthly fee) and I was refused a refund. I was told the company policy was to only go back 90 days. It was...
You cannot live w/o a DVR but needs improvements on Video on Demand!
I am a big fan of Tivo. I bought my 1st Tivo Series 2 on September, 2002 and got addicted to Tivo. It is really easy to setup, record and watch your TV shows anytime you want. The Tivo to Go...
The TiVo has been around for over 10 years in various forms and iterations, but it's only landed on Australian shores relatively recently. Its mediocre technical specifications are bolstered by its...

In addition to making its own digital video recorders, TiVo licenses its best-in-class look and feel to other manufacturers . The latest is Humax, a Korean company that made its fortune as a...
Out of all the technology items we own, this one has stood the test of time. I mean how many other tech products do you own and use for over 5 years and still think, I don't need a replacement or...
I'm returning it. The picture quality has degraded 50% when I hooked it up. Trying to call them right now while I am writing. It seems their pre-recorded message is 24/7!
the 40 hour does what i need although my tv ipod will record more. i don't like it changing channels to record something while watching a program and having to go back to what i was watching. the...
Note: TiVo has rereleased its Series2 DVR with a silver and white case in place of the original black. Aside from the cosmetic change, the two units are identical. TiVo is a victim of its own...
We bought a HD TIVO in November 2008. We have 3 standard definition TIVOs, networked, throughout our home, and LOVE the interface. But I had always wanted one capable of recording in HD. We finally...

I am an early adopter and bought the HD Series 3 when it first came out. For programming, it can't be beat. Tivo, and particularly the online scheduling feature, make the cable company provided...

I tried getting this adapter to work on my own for a month and half. Every once in awhile it would work. But, very rarely. Unfortunately, there are very few settings you can access in TIVO to...
I have it hooked up to my Tivo in the living room and I get between 50-58% signal strength. Not great considering my laptop in the same room gets about 80-90% signal strength. Tivo's suggestion...

I previously had one of those $100 Logitec remotes. That was fine but I found it slow and it sometimes had a mind of its own. This remote only does what you tell it to do. This remote works...
Buttons are rather small and impossible to read in dim light. You'll need to be able to see the buttons since many buttons with different functions are near to each other and of the same size and...
As usual for the past 15 years, the editors were asleep at the wheel and completely hosed the vital (to brain-damaged Linux) command line arguments -- at least on page 39 (Chapter 2: Adding a...
ok not great only thing I really use is the commercial skip code
Ok not great only thing I really use is the commercial skip code which you can find online anyway. If you know nothing about Tivo then this can be a handy reference but if you are more advanced...
Well written and detailed book. This text enabled me to easily upgrade my TiVo's disk, something my box's manual didn't go into in enough dept and simplicity.
The majority of the book is working the TiVo at the operating system level to alter the software or to transfer movies. This is advanced stuff that requires a good deal of technical skill. The...
Tivo is a software service, coupled with a digital video recorder, which changes the way one watches TV. O'Reilly's "Tivo Hacks", part of their outstanding "Hacks" series, explores how to tinker...
As near as I can tell, all the material applicable to version 2, the current version, requires elaborate, dangerous procedures that will void your warrantee.
This is a pretty decent book, even if it is slanted towards the Mac owner. Why do I say this? Well, one hysterical example here is that when talking about deploying a TiVo app they spend pages...
Featuring 432 pages of informed "user friendly" information
TiVO is one of the most increasingly popular electronic home entertainment systems in the market today. With a computer chip that makes video tape obsolte, and with the enhanced visual images that...
Even though Amazon recommends this for people who've bought a "TiVo TCD540040 Series2 DVR", this book is unlikely to be of much use since the hardware has changed in such a way as to make many of...
I purchased these cords to go with my new Slingbox and they work great. The are soft to the touch and have couplers that "squeeze" where they are connected. Therefore, they stay connected nice...
From the picture and description, I was expecting a three-in-one AV cable: left, right, S-Video. It's not. It's a stereo audio cable plus an S-Video cable.
We were already successfully using one Instajack set to hook up the DVR on our satellite TV system to the phone line on the other side of our living room. Later we wanted to add an additional...
I'm sure this is a great product if it works in your house. But it won't necessarily do that. I wanted to use it with my sattelit reciever, but I was having problems, so I tried a regular phone and...
Must have for TiVo people who want to keep their shows
I bought this mainly to record and edit TiVo shows but it contains other very useful tools as well. I especially like the feature that allows you to insert a damaged/scratched CD/DVD and it will...
I purchased MyDVD 9 from Roxio and it failed to work properly. When I consulted their technical support the suggestions they made were based on Windows Vista (it took them over a week to get back...
While I rigorously maintain my status as a rider on the leading wave of software technologies, I am way behind the curve when it comes to entertainment. Before I read this book, I had only a...
Using this product is very easy. I was able to show my children how to use it to transfer old VHS tapes to digital in just a few minutes. Easy to make good quality digital transfers. However the...
I purchased the OSD after my Neuros Recorder 2 stopped working. I had the same problems with both OSDs. I'm getting ready to send back the 2nd one soon. There was a vertical line going from the top...
Limited support, but product performs as advertised
OSD successfully records and plays back my video collection - which is what I bought it for. Camera picture playback is poor due to underpowered processor. Manufacturer has attempted to apply...
A great concept limited by limited technology. Toward the end of the 16-bit gaming era, Nintendo released a peripheral that has continually, though marginally, influenced handheld gaming: the...
This is the first part of a series about a different world, placed in some medieval times, in which a king departs to unknown lands in the search of a magic object that can save the life of his...
