- Support is a huge problem for this otherwise good product
I loved my replay until something went wrong with it.I have never experienced such horrible customer support from any company providing any type of service in my life.Basicly if anything goes wrong you are just screwed.It's unbelievable.Lifetime subscription is only a subscription until it quits working.

- This Thing's Great!
This gizmo has revolutionized my TV watching habits.No more surfing up and down the dial through 200 channels of drivel.Now I return home, even if I have been traveling for weeks at a time, and find a neatly cataloged selection of shows I really like to watch.
My only regret is that I didn't spend the extra $200 or so to get the 80-hour model.Forty hours is a lot, but you do use up a great deal of memory if you record primarily in the "high quality" mode as I do.Spending 30% more ... Read More

- Special network requirements
Before you order this product be sure you have the necessary network configuration on your HOME network.Needs a DSL, cable modem or T1 link to use the REPLAYTV 4000 unit according to their tech support.A 56K modem link will work, but only for 12 days at a time and then you have to go in and change setting in order to get it to work for another 12 days.Also, their tech support states that using their product in this fashion is not technically supported, so any problems are yours.

- Converted Tivo Owner
I have owned a DirecTivo and a standard Tivo before owning a 4000 series ReplayTV.There is nothing wrong with Tivo, but I have found some things that I like much more in my ReplayTv.I won't go into all of the features of the ReplayTV, just the ones that I have found the most valuable since switching to ReplayTv.
1.Commercial Advance - I had not even conisdered this as something I would like about ReplayTv, but boy was I mistaken.I absolutely LOVE it.Doesn't work 100% of the time, ... Read More

- Replay TV ...
I bought this unit in mid-December.It MUST be networked to your coputer and internet.It would NOT recognize a Windows ME network, and SonicBlue admitted that this was a major problem.I sent it back Fed EX, and it is now April, and I have not received my money back.I would be very cautious about buying anything from a company with this history.
