Strengths: Record 2 HD shows simulataneously, while watching a third already recorded show.

This model makes HD recording more affordable and has all the features you could ask for in a DVR. The TIVO interface is the best in the business. You can record both over the air and cable broadcasts with ease. You can download movies from Amazon unbox and music videos from Music Choice.
Strengths: Can finally playback HD programming, records HD from a variety of sources, dual tuner, same awesome interface that keeps TiVo lovers coming back for more!
Weakness: Much slower than previous versions I've owned, only one set of outputs, still bugs with multi-room viewing.
This is my third TiVo box, and I've been a loyal user for about 5 years now. I've always loved the ease of use as well as the intuitive interface and features of TiVo. I firmly believe that anyone who uses TiVo will never go back--either to VCR or to cable company DVR's...they're simply inadequate. Anyway, regarding the TiVo HD, I've been wanting to record in HD for a long time now, as the...
Strengths: High Def DVR, Pause Live TV, Fast Forward Thru Commercials, Great Interface, Can Record HD OTA, Quiet System,
Weakness: Price
If you can handle the price, then you're gonna love this system. Tivo has a great, user-friendly interface. Dual Tuner was a necessity for me (wish they made a Triple Tuner Unit). The quality of it's recordings are remarkable. Whether it is recording your cable company's HD Feed or free OTA signals, it's beautful. This unit has a load of features, including transferring shows to your computer or...
Strengths: HD Picture Quality, Ability to puase live TV, Record 2 HD shows while watching a recorded show, ff through commercials, Amazon Unbox, expandable, MyTIVO Desktop, etc.
Weakness: Price, No Cable Pay per view access
I absolutely love my TivoHD! Tivo just upgraded my software so I can transfer shows to other Tivo's in my house, or to my computer. This box now has all the functionality of previous Tivo's. But this box records HD and allows you to add an external eSATA hard drive for additional storage. Tivo Update 9.2 is also faster than the original software that came with it. This means the menus are more...
Strengths: CableCARD compatible, combining the best DVR solution with beautiful HD!
Weakness: Still no multi-room viewing or TiVoToGo, but coming soon!
Anyone who has ever used a TiVo knows that it's easily the best DVR on the market when it comes to ease of use. The TiVo HD is another fine example of how far ahead of the competition TiVo really is. I picked up a TiVo HD to augment the Series3 I purchased last year, and to transfer the lone remaining product lifetime subscription I had on a Series2. With the promist of multi-room viewing and...
Strengths: Great TiVo user interface, can record HD shows with an OTA (over the air) antenna, works with Slingbox
Weakness: Sometimes it lags when you go through menus (not a major complaint), only 20 hours of HD content, not compatible with Satellite HD service (DirecTV, Dish Network, etc).
I have had this TiVo for a week and I absolutely love it. If you have an HDTV and you're in the market looking for HD DVR, this is a great option for you. It's almost the same as the more expensive Series3 HD TiVo that was released earlier. This one (TiVo HD) has a smaller hard drive, no OLED screen, and regular (non-glow) TiVo remote. All of these are non-factors to me. There is an e-sata port...
Strengths: look, easiness and user friendliness, cable cards- M card compatible, HD recording, hdmi output, record two showings at the same time
Weakness: small hard drive, no wireless built in, price for subscription or lifetime subscription price, remote could use work.
I got this so I would not have to get an additional box from my cable provider which costs about an additional $8 per month. I thought, why not get this and have it so I subtract 8 from this every month saving costs since my cable provider provides M-cable cards for free (the first one). It turned out to work so very well. Great HDTV experience with my sharp 46' (64u model). I get all the HD...
Strengths: Ease-of-use; much better than Comcast DVR (both the box and the service); records great HD quality
Weakness: No front-panel controls (requires the remote); but the remote from my old TiVo won't work with it, although it looks identical; profile is a bit tall for my cabinet.
I've been waiting for this TiVo box for a couple years. I bought this unit for about $260 online, including shipping. Not exactly cheap, but better than the old $700 TiVo HD box, and better than paying $300 for this box in the stores! We used to have TiVo, but when we bought our HD TV we had to use the Comcast HD DVR because the old HD TiVo box was way too expensive. This one is great, and it...
Strengths: Great TiVo functionality; Dual HD tuner; easy to install and use; great price - much cheaper than the Series 3 TiVo
Weakness: Only records 20 hours of HD content; does not include HDMI cable
The best DVR in the business just got better! The new TiVo HD does almost everything the Series 3 Tivo does for a whole lot less money. This thing blows away my Time Warner DVR. It's so much easier to use and holds more programming, too. They have now activated TiVo to go and multi-room viewing funtionality. Plus, you can download movies from Amazon unbox. Great buy!
THE GOOD: Includes nearly all the features of previous Series3 model at a lower price; can record two HD programs simultaneously while playing back a third, previously recorded one; accepts cable TV and over-the-air signals; 30-second commercial skip; excellent user-friendly interface and remote; impressive Internet and home-networking features, including video content from Netflix, Amazon, and...

The TiVo TCD652160 is the second HD DVR released by TiVo in 2007, and is also called the "TiVo HD DVR". Compared to the first Series3 HD box, the CableCARD slots have been moved to the front, has a smaller hard drive at 160 GB rather than 250 GB, and has several fewer high-end features. However, these changes have resulted in a much more affordable DVR. It can record 20 hours in HD and 180 hours...

TiVo HD intuitive
Strengths: Easy setup very intuitive. Great user interface.
Weakness: I have been a bit hamhanded with the remote that came with it. I'll buy the lighted one. The channels seize up once every few weeks and I have to unplug and reboot to fix it.
I bought this Hd TiVo 2 months ago and have had no problems. The setup was easy with the usb wireless connecting automatically to my network and updating the machine. I'll never use vhs again. Easy to go to TiVo and rig up favorites that record each week only when they are new episodes. Nice to have HD instead of the analog dual tuner it replaced. Easy to learn for this geezer.
