Love this machine

"I had a generic DVR from my caable company for several years before I decided to make the leap to TiVo, and I'm glad I did. I am seriously in love with this machine. I'm even considering marriage, though I think such a union would only be legal in Massachusetts. Let me begin by saying that a DVR (regardless of the brand) will change the way you watch TV. And if you have one with a dual tuner, it means you never..." Read Full Review »

Top of the line TiVo... with glitches

"This new TiVo HD unit replaces our older DirecTivo, now that we have cable service from Charter. It's the best TiVo available, and DVR enthusiasts should really enjoy this unit, with a couple of significant caveats: 1) If you are a cable subscriber, you'll have to deal with the company cable card installation. Your cable company could install either a single M-Card (multi-channel), or 2 single-channel cable car..." Read Full Review »

"Because of the upcoming (now postponed) Digital Cut-Over, I replaced a different DVR with free/OTA TV Guide service with the Tivo HD XL. The Tivo generally suffers in comparison to the other DVR.Note: I don't have cable. I use the Tivo for over-the-air tv only. PROS:- I like the dual tuners for …"  Read Full Review »

"It's just what it's supposed to be—the TiVo I'm used to, but now with HD capability. Having dual tuners is awesome; I'm probably going to decommission one of the Series 2 TiVos we have since one of the primary reasons for it was to record overlapping programs. Would love for TiVo to update this mode …"  Read Full Review »

"Finally, I don't have to continually prune out content that either I have watched and want to save or those I haven't watched yet to make room for new programming. Even with HD programs this thing has much more storage capacity. The wireless setup with the Tivo adapter was completely idiot proof. Pl …"  Read Full Review »
