Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy setup very intuitive. Great user interface.

Weaknesses:I have been a bit hamhanded with the remote that came with it. I'll buy the lighted one. The channels seize up once every few weeks and I have to unplug and reboot to fix it.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this Hd TiVo 2 months ago and have had no problems. The setup was easy with the usb wireless connecting automatically to my network and updating the machine. I'll never use vhs again. Easy to go to TiVo and rig up favorites that record each week only when they are new episodes. Nice to have HD instead of the analog dual tuner it replaced. Easy to learn for this geezer.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Inexpensive, will take M-cablecards

Weaknesses:Terrible remote control

Overall Evaluation: This is a great compromise if you want a TIVO dvr. It is not their best HD unit but it is half that unit's price. The remote control it comes with is garbage, I recommend upgrading to a TIVO GLO remote immediately, night and day !! This HD model also does not come with a HDMI cable or telephone splitter, not a big deal compared to paying twice the price for the premium unit. If you have never used TIVO HD before, buy this, you will love it !!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Ability to use HDMI cablesEthernet slot in back

Weaknesses:No huge software advantageslower than the series 2 boxes

Overall Evaluation: My wife and I had a Series 2 unit for about a year and a half and come to love it and couldn't imagine life without Tivo. We live in Indianapolis which has great "over the air" High Def. channels so we bought a new Samsung HD Tivo and decided to get this HD Tivo.The good news is, I didn't need a cablecard from Comcast,just a $5 antenna to pull the HD channels. Tivo found all our channel and even tells us when we recorded a show in "HD". The "kinda" bad news is that the Tivo software is the same with the Series 2, nothing really new....except that it is much slower than our series 2 which changing channels and accessing the Tivo menu. My guess is because Tivo is viewing both the antenna channels and cable channels.Overall, this was a nice box to have since we can now get HD channels plus the abiliy to use a HDMI cable and a Ethernet cable in the back.My advice to anyone with a series 2 to stay with their box until it dies.

Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Record 2 HD shows simulataneously, while watching a third already recorded show.

Weaknesses:TIVO and satellite don't work together.

Overall Evaluation: This model makes HD recording more affordable and has all the features you could ask for in a DVR. The TIVO interface is the best in the business. You can record both over the air and cable broadcasts with ease. You can download movies from Amazon unbox and music videos from Music Choice.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: look, easiness and user friendliness, cable cards- M card compatible, HD recording, hdmi output, record two showings at the same time

Weaknesses:small hard drive, no wireless built in, price for subscription or lifetime subscription price, remote could use work.

Overall Evaluation: I got this so I would not have to get an additional box from my cable provider which costs about an additional $8 per month. I thought, why not get this and have it so I subtract 8 from this every month saving costs since my cable provider provides M-cable cards for free (the first one). It turned out to work so very well. Great HDTV experience with my sharp 46' (64u model). I get all the HD channels plus digital, this can record two things at the same time (Even if both are HD) as well as allowing me to watch something recorded or something that is recorded while it records two shows. Or I can watch whatever I want plus it can still be recording. Great value, especially worth it if you can do it like I did and get lifetime on it. The service will pay for itself within 4 years (even when I use Net present value for the TOTAL cost). Also, get the tivo wireless adapter (they are like $30)... save yourself the headache of finding the right one that is compatible as well as functions well like the tivo branded adapter.
