I got tivo a few moths ago and i can say that it is very good. The best description ive come up with is its a "vcr on steroids". Tivo will let you record anything day or night without using videotapes, it learns what you like and what you dont. It will even record programs it thinks you will like. You can search for a program via, its name, the channel its on, the time and the date. You can, with a couple of presses of the remote get tivo to record every episode of a series for you automatically. You can even watch something that you have recorded while it records something else. Tivo is designed for anyone with either, sky, cable, digital cable, itv digital, ...  Read the complete review

I bought the tivo system I had looked into it for a few days and although it is quite expensive I thought it would be worth it. Buying it: Easier said than done, I am told on the phone that comet and currys sell them, well I do not normally bother with either of these outlets because they rarely have the models that I want and as a rule their service is lacking. Comet first - "I would like to buy a TIVO system please", "certainly sir, I can that for you in about 4 days....". It turns out that they only sell them over the internet, but they will order them into the store if you want. Hmmm fully comprehensive service - not. ...  Read the complete review

Debated buying a TiVO for a while, because I thought it was a bit pricey - £600 including the lifetime subscription). Eventually, I succombed last week. When I got the unit home, I discovered that I had a set-up which TiVO doesn't really work with. I have Analog Sky (which I knew was not supported) and On Digital through an Integrated Digital TV. Unfortunately, TiVO requires you to have a set-top box, so that it can change the digital channel and record from that channel. Having tried for a while, I called Customer Support. They answered very quickly (well done), and told me my problem - the lack of a set-top box. They suggested a take the unit back for a ...  Read the complete review

Tivo is completely legendary. It is the future of recording television programmes. It is essentially a video without tape, using computer hard discs to record on. It actually learns from your viewing habits and you can block book programmes e.g. set it to record every episode of Eastenders and it will do it automatically. It also chooses programmes to record and you then rate these recordings with a thumbs up or thumbs down and Tivo learns what sort of genre of programmes you watch. One of the best features is that when the unit is recording a programme you can start watching it from the start even though it's say only 2/3 of the way through recording the ...  Read the complete review

As others have commented, TiVo is nothing short of revolutionary. Combining ease of use, superb picture quality and the best EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) around, you are left with a superb product. However, as good as it is, there is room for improvement - luckily, we don't have to worry about this... A few days ago, the latest release of software was released for TiVo - it fixed a number of niggles people were having with Nicam and crashes were resolved etc. But users weren't forced to order the software, or pay another penny - it was downloaded by TiVo automatically in the middle of the night. No user involvement was required, and it is through ...  Read the complete review
