Summary
I had been using the older TIVO 240004A model which was a single tuner 40-hour DVR and came across a great deal on Buy.com which was for the newer double tuner TCD649080, 80-hour DVR for $214. with shipping and a $15. instant discount and $150. rebate...
Strength
Sleek & attractive; dual tuners; 80-hour recording time;
great price with rebate.
Weakness
None
Bottom Line
If you are in the market for a TIVO upgrade or are considering becoming a new TIVO subscriber, now is the time to purchase this unit at a great price.
I have had my Series 2 dual tuner 80 GB TiVo for almost 3 years now and I want to just say I cannot imagine my life with out it anymore. I don't know how I used to watch LIVE tv with commercials and without my TiVo. It literally knows me now. It knows...
Strength
Great software.
Very responsive.
Enough storage.
Weakness
Pricey when you take service fee into account.
Long initial set up.
Bottom Line
TiVo makes my life simpler. Very responsive software. Enough storage. Dual Tuner helps you record 2 shows at a time. Best DVR on the market. Way better than cable/satellite DVRs.
This review will primarily deal with the setup and installation of a TiVo Series 2 80 Hour DT box, the associated "TiVo desktop" PC app, and Tivo's web integration. I have not used the service for long enough yet to give it a fair grade but so far so...
Strength
Good cable selection, great walk through, solid internet support
Weakness
PC integration is horribly unfriendly and my cable box was not exactly made for this
Bottom Line
This is a great product but was difficult to set up. This review is not based on the service.

Summary
The dual-tuner TiVo finally addresses the only issue I had with the "regular" TiVo. Namely, that you cannot watch (with TiVo) a live show while another records. Now, you can: - Record two shows at once - Record two shows at once and watch a third...
Strength
Record two shows at once
Have never had it fail
Weakness
That monthly service fee (or you pay for the unit's lifetime up front)
Let me start by saying that I love my Tivo. I recommend it to my friends all the time. Everything works great - recording, learning, PC syncing, easy setup etc. The one complaint I have is that the guide sucks. It is slow, doesn't allow me to set...
I love TIVO....it's a great product. We had 3 VCR's in our house and none would agree with one another. Tape in one VCR and try to watch it in another VCR and it was a nightmare. So, we moved on to TIVO. Long story short: Got divorced, moved out,...
Strength
Easy to use, sweet picture that doesn't wiggle or get snowy like VCR tape.
Weakness
You either pay for the programming updates, or it's useless.
I thought TiVo would make a nice Christmas gift for my elderly parents, who have to get up and leave the room frequently while watching TV. Unfortunately, within 24 hours of ordering from these idiots, they managed to send my parents two emails notifying...
Strength
Could have been a nice service for my parents
Weakness
Nonexistent customer service
Extremely long wait times -- and then no service
