5 of 5 Same Great Tivo but with HD Monday, March 10, 2008
A Customer from Austin, TX
This Tivo HD replaced a Tivo Series 2 that I've had for 3 plus years. It has the same great Tivo expierence with the added benefit of HD and two TV tuners. Was this review helpful?  
4 of 5 TiVo HD Wednesday, March 05, 2008
A Customer from New York
Seems to be working okay...had to have a systems upgrade directly from TiVo to make it work properly with all of the functions. Second slot for the cable card seems to have trouble reading the card sometimes, cable says it's not their problem, TiVo says it's not their's. Otherwise, it's a great machine and I hope it continues to work. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great upgrade from my old TiVo Monday, February 18, 2008
christmanjeff at hotmail d0t com from Lehigh Valley, PA
I began using TiVo with a Series 2 single-tuner TiVo in August 2006, and I can't believe I somehow managed to watch television all those years without it. The Series 2 will only record standard def programming, so I couldn't only enjoy high-def if I watched it live through my cable box. Now that I'm receiving high-def programming with a fancy tv, I decided to pay the *very* reasonable $249 for the TiVo HD.
As with the Series 2, it's a cinch to setup. I didn't even have to involve my cable company to enable my TiVo HD to receive and record HD channels because I simply slid out the CableCard from my cable box and inserted it into the TiVo. Voila! The TiVo HD now is recording my shows from the HD channels so I can actually enjoy the crisp HD picture at *my* convenience.
CONS: The cons with the new device are few. The first is something that's always bugged me, like the Series 2, the menus slide into view from right. There doesn't seem to be an option I can find to disable the special effect and just have the menu come up without the fancy slide. Besides that, it records just 20 hours of HD programming. You can, however, add an external hard drive (it's a snap!) to add 60+ hours of HD recording time. I've seen the drive run from $120-$200. Cosmetically, the TiVo HD doesn't have the backlit TiVo logo on the front of the device. I always thought that was cool.:) The only *serious* con with this new TiVo is you can't adjust the record quality for individual programs. In the settings, you set the record quality for standard def, but there is not an (apparent) option to modify it individually when you're selecting a particular program to record. For example, my TiVo's set to record a zillion Simpsons, which I'd prefer to have on basic quality.. but since the default is set to medium (or high. or whatever), it records at the higher rate, consuming more space. Lastly, when fast-forwarding or rewinding through high-def programming, the device seems to lag a bit to your commands. I assume it's because it's juggling a huge video file... it's tolerable once you learn the TiVo's behavior.
PROS: Recording high def! The dual high-def tuner allows you to record two high-def (or standard-def or a combo) at once -- and you don't need your cable box. You simply slide in a CableCard from your cable company (or attach an antenna) and you're set! As I mentioned earlier, you can add an external storage device to record more programming. TiVo has only "certified" one external hard drive from Western Digital -- a 500gb drive that adds 60 hours of high-def, but the manual doesn't say that all other devices are disabled. The price is pretty cheap anyway -- I've seen refurbed WD 500GB drives for low $100's. The TiVo HD also has a bona fide Ethernet input, so you don't need to connect your Ethernet cable via a USB adapter as with the Series 2. There are also plenty of outputs, including HDMI, component, composite and optical. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 great purchase! Wednesday, January 23, 2008

5 of 5 Great product and amazing price! Tuesday, January 08, 2008
Kristy from Dallas, TX
This product is great. I just bought it the Wednesday after Christmas on this site, i receive it the next day (must live close to the distribution center).
Once I got my cable card from my cable provider and got the HD up and running I found it to be amazing. The card not only allows multiple channel recording, but you can also play/pause live tv on two different channels. I just watched the National Championship college football game last night, would pause it when i caught up to live tv, flip to another channel and watch one of my shows until i got to a commercial, paused that channel, flipped back to the game and was able to fast forward through commercials and down-time during the game, was amazing.
You cannot access on-demand or pay per view via the cable cards yet, but all you have to do is keep you cable box and plug it into another input into your TV (using a splitter). This gives you even another channel to watch if you need it.
The picture if fabulous, the price on buy.com is better than anywhere else I could find. Love it!

5 of 5 TiVo & HD, Sweet. Tuesday, December 11, 2007
balizar1701@hotmail.com from Charlotte, NC
TiVo's great user interface and HD content. What else could you want.
Easy to set up. You have to get the cable company to install the CableCards, that is the hardest part.
Network options and the easy to use menus make TiVo stand out from generic DVRs. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Love this machine Saturday, December 08, 2007
KP from Philadelphia, PA
Overall I love this unit as well as the service provided by Tivo. Setup is a breeze and the different functions are easily learned. I use the Tivo wireless link to connect to my network and it works really well. The USB connected wireless link is too expensive and similar units from other manufacturers can be bought for much less. My only complaint with the Tivo unit is that it is delivered without a HDMI or ethernet cable. The unit comes with a number of other audio and video cables as well as a phone cable. Knowing that this is a HDTV model and that most if not all HDTV have HDMI this cable should have been included. It is an added cost to an already costly system.
I receive my programming from antenna and the system performs really well. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good, but flaky and slow. Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Daniel from Pacific, WA
Tivo quality user interface continues on. Only problem with this unit is resolution switching can be a bit buggy at times and menus are often slow - even slower than my series 2 Tivo it replaces. Still, the best HD DVR out there. I can't live without my Tivo and it's great to have an affordable HD offering now. Was this review helpful?
