Strengths: record two channels at once, pause live TV, user-friendly, simple to setup, easy to upgrade HD
Weakness: slow connection via broadband phone line, slow PC transfer, expensive wireless adapter, time lag btw changing channels, no HD
This is my second Tivo because our family can't get enough of it. It's so easy to use that both the 3 year-old and the 65 year-old in the family are fighting over the remote. Setup and using it is a breeze (much easier than getting a TV tuner for the PC). The features of Tivo are just amazing. My only complaint is its speed. The speed at which the biweekly schedule download s via a broadband...
Strengths: easy to set up and use, remote account access, dual tuners
Weakness: monthly cost
I'm very pleased with this unit. As others have noted, the interface is great, the Season Pass is useful and convenient, and the Tivo extras are handy. Tivo has greatly improved my TV experience. I love the dual tuners and won't get another DVR without them. You can record two programs at once, but I also use it to switch between "live" shows. When one show goes to commercial, I can switch to the...
Strengths: User friendly, easy to navigate, ability to record two shows at one time (on regular cable), easy to access via a PC, Season Pass to all my favorite programs
Weakness: Channels change slower than regular tv
I've had my first Tivo for about 4 months and love it. Given I haven't gotten to use it much because it's been taken over by my daughter's kids programming it's still the best purchase I've made in a long time. It changes the way you watch tv. You don't have to channel surf to find a good program anymore. You just go to your list of programs and select from the many choices that you've made or go...
Strengths: Dual tuner, great user interface, great options to connect to home network
Weakness: no HDTV recording
Highly reccomend, had Moxi DVR from Adelphia cable before, which was much worse than Tivo, except for the fact it could record HDTV. Tivo has everything else right though, easy interface to work with, and many functions to connect to your home network. 80 hours is plenty of time, but just know this is when you record on the lowest basic quality, which is fine for most things, high quality...
Strengths: works great for 9 months
Weakness: Customer service wait time on the phone
My TiVo was wonderful for the first nine months, no problems other than the regular need to download information. However, recently it stopped connecting with the download setup and after 5 weeks of remaining on hold with the customer service folks (who were great to me, just couldn't help)I was told that my TiVo box could be exchanged for $50.00 plus shipping and handling, and when I asked to...
Strengths: Great interface, very easy to use, and very nice to have
Weakness: Only the Tivo monthly service fee
Love the twin tuner. Just getting used to having Tivo, but I already love it. The unit is so simple to use, just hook up and go. Considering getting another one to put in a different location.
Strengths: record two programs at the same time
Weakness: extra money for wireless adapter
we have used it for 2 months. Tivo service is great. setting up the unit is easy. recording two shows at the same time is big plus. However extra money is needed for wireless adapter. All in one, we are happy to have it.
Strengths: More reliable than cable alternatives, ability to upgrade hard drive for mega space (if you know where to look), Many way to search for programming, built in NIC
Weakness: Sometimes thinks reruns are new episode, inability to tell it to just record show on a single channel, can't dual record digital channels
I've been using Tivos for years and this is my favorite unit yet, it finally has a network connection built in so no need to use usb to network adapter. The Tivo 2 features are nice such as streaming music/images from pc. I love the ability to record 2 channels at once - I just plug my cable coax in the back (yeah I miss digital - I use the unreliable cable box for that) and then don't have to...
Strengths: Ability to record 2 channels at once; Robust Tivo recording and program search capability
Weakness: Can record from just one cable box or satellite receiver; 2nd tuner is only for analog (non-digital) TV channels
I got this knowing that it will be usable for a short time only; a year or two. With rebates, it ended up as free, with me only paying for the annual service. Coming from the old Replay TV service, I dearly miss automatic commercial skip, but there is a way to program 30-second jumps. The dual tuner will become moot once broadcasters and cable companies switch to all digital. The robust...
The TiVo TCD649080 is the 80 GB model of the TCD649 series, which is the 4th version of the Series2 platform and replaced the TCD540 series in 2006. It is also available in a 180 GB model as the TiVo TCD649180. Like the TCD540 series, it is a standard definition model, however the major addition to this model is a dual tuner giving the ability to record two shows at once from two basic cable...

Very cool but sensitive
Strengths: like their sales pitch says
Weakness: be careful where you place it, ominous feedback from the support forums
Got this brand new series 2 direct from Tivo and loved it immediately. Three weeks into ownership, while watching live tv my picture started to pixelate, then froze. The sound went dead and I could only get the picture moving again by switching channels and coming back again. That would unfreeze the picture for a minute or two, then the same thing happened again and again. Not a frequent...
