- Think twice
The TIVO HD is a piece of junk. It's sluggish, channel changes are slow, and the Internet features work poorly.
What's worse: I bought it, returned it, canceled the Tivo service (if you don't call to cancel they will keep charging you $14/mo!), but they kept charging me even though I haven't owned the hardware for 5 months! I called to cancel again months later and they want to charge me a $150 early termination fee. For what? They gor their hardware back 5 months ago and I'm paying ... Read More
Rating: - Unreliable.One unit died after 1.5yrs, another after 9 months.
Multiple units have proven unreliable.We ordered this product and transferred an old lifetime service (for $150 tranfer fee) to this machine.The hard drive died in about a year and a half.Tivo replaced with a refurb. model (for ~$100 fee) and transferred lifetime service.New unit lasted about 8 months and Tivo now (as of 5/09) charges a $200 "transfer fee" for lifetime service that they will not waive (plus $49 +s/h for the replacement unit), even though the reason for the transfer is a substandard ...

Rating: - A PREVIOUSLY loyal TIVO customer...
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 saved up enough money, and....
TIVO HD was nothing but a nightmare from day one. Half of this was due to the cable company and CABLE CARDS. CABLE CARDS ARE A HORRIBLE WAY FOR THE MOVIE/TV INDUSTRY TO "PROTECT" THEIR CONTENT. The CABLEVISION (NJ) tech that came out was cynical about how the card would ... Read More

- Will never go back to the cable company boxes
I purchased the Series3 a few months after it was first released.
It took a few days of waiting for Comcast to arrive to install the cableCARDs (at the time, they required a service call), and some initial trouble when the technician clearly didn't understand how to install cable cards.But once it was up and running, the TiVo is an amazing device.
The search, scheduling and recommendation functionality is just amazing and much better than the standard DVR's being offered by Comcast. ... Read More

- TiVo - Love / Hate Relationship
Ok - here goes !
First - The Love:
* TiVo's best feature- its great being able to watchingprograms on "your" schedule and not the "TV program" schedule.
* Skipping thru the junk and commercials is heaven.
You can watch 2 or 3 programs using TiVo in the same time you watch
one live show.
* Menus are easy to use and it's "smart" ! TiVo can find your programs, advise if you have recording conflicts, has a program recommendation feature based on your preferences,can download ... Read More
