TiVo Series2™ (80 Hours) (80 GB) 80-Hours Video Recorder

The Bottom Line: If you purchase one that isn't broken-you'll be just fine.

Review: We bought Tivo after getting many positive comments from friends and family, and liked the features. And, yeah, we really enjoyed the product, but after 45 days, the motherboard fried. If it would have broke before 30 days, the store we purchased it...

Review: Hook-up and Guided Setup:
The hook-up for my TV was EXTREMELY EASY! The TiVo ships with a foldout poster that has large graphics and enough details to call it a book! The instructions are really streight-forward and easy to comprehend...it was...

The Bottom Line: If all you can afford is the 40-hour version, get it. You've got to have a TiVo EVEN if it's the base model.

Review: TiVo is -- hands-down -- the best invention of the past 20 years.

What's so friggin great about TiVo?

For years, we've heard the worn-out line about "60 channels (or pick your number) and there's nothing on." Until TiVo, that may...

Review: I got this product as a gift, and first off, as I just moved to a new city, could not find anyone with a home phone to do the initial setup. Who has a home phone anymore? Then I went through 3 wireless adapters that I purchased at Best Buy, and the...

The Bottom Line: Make sure its easy enough to exchange the unit if you find it too noisy.

Review: This is my second Tivo. As a previous owner of a Philips HDR312 I chose the Tivo 80hr for its increased space, speedier menus and the peanut remote I have come to love.

I have had a 30hr Tivo for over a year now and was tired of worrying...

The Bottom Line: Everyone should know what it's like to own a TiVo.

Review: My first TiVo purchase was the Series 2 80 hour recorder. I bought it as a refurbished unit and 5 years later, it's still going strong. Now I'm a multi-TiVo household because I love it so much.

I joined with TiVo because of the ease of use...

The Bottom Line: Buyer Beware! Faulty product, unreliable, and lousy customer service. The future of TV? Not yet!

Review: Where to start? Tivo was something that I had been going back and forth about in my head for quite some time before buying it. Some people seemed to love it, while some despised it's defectiveness. I read the reviews on this and other sights for...

The Bottom Line: Buy another model. TiVo 2 might be already damaged in the box!

Review: Well after giving some thought to the idea of buying a TiVo 2, I just got one last week (Tivo 2 140060 - 60 hours).
Unfortunately it arrived already defective. It doesn't power up and all symptoms indicate a damaged power supply.
Needless...

The Bottom Line: take control of your tv viewing habits!!

Review: a friend recommended a tivo to me after having a personal video recorder for a while. it seemed like quite a lot of cash but i went ahead and did it at his urging.

all i can say is WOW! what a paradigm shift in the way i watch the TV now...

The Bottom Line: I recommend the Tivo because the product is a great one in principle. People have been a slave to network TV schedules for too long.

Review: I've had my Tivo Series 2 for about 6 months and, although it isn't perfect, I would buy it again in a heart beat.

PROS:
1) SKIPPING ADS:
As anyone will tell you, owning a Tivo means never having to sit through another...
