I’ve got the latest TiVo and I have to say, I’m a believer. It’s great to be able to transfer programs to my PC, or even to my iPhone! And you can kinda work around the VOD issue by using Amazon Unbox rentals. True, it’s not instant, but it’s close enough for me.

I used to have a comcast DVR, it kept breaking all the time for some reason….. I gave up when the 4th one broke.

I also have thought that I needed a Tivo. We used to have Dish Network that came with a DVR, and my ex ended up keeping it in our divorce. Now that I have Comcast and I’m never home, I really wish that I was able to watch shows that I can’t get on hulu.

Before, costs have been prohibitive for our family. Perhaps soon!

Chris, Tivo is the ultimate DVR, much better UI than Comcast DVR!

Sorry if this posted 2 times. But the site didn’t preview my previous blog post. I was going to say that i think the tivo is excellent (from directv satellite) but the only think is that it takes forever for it to boot up and sometimes the processor slows down big time.

Keep up the good videos. No need to critisize about everything single mistake in a message since you have a degree in english.

Sincerly,

Chris i would be careful about the Tivo because the processor gets slow. But the overall gui and the remote is excellent.

hey Chris

wouldn’t a VCR be easier than a TIVO or DVR? i would think so, because with a VCR, you would not have any limits in recordable space, you just put in another tape, and record on, also, what about recording onto DVD s, you could also keep the recordings longer, or just record over them. another good thing is that you could keep them and look at them like 20 years later, (if they still have working VCR’s) and if you wanted, you could pass thee show onto a friend who missed it, and really wants to see it. but, in defiance to what i just said, a DVR/TIVO would be easier to use, and may last longer than a tape, but tapes/DVD s’ could be a cheaper way for the people who do not want to get a DVR/TIVO.

see you later

I don’t have a Tivo, but I do have Comcast and I really don’t think it’s worth what I pay for it. Sure, it gives you the on demand stuff, but I really don’t use it much anyway. If I had a need to record TV more than I do, I would go buy a Tivo.

If I would have a dvr I think I would use the HELK out of it! because I know people that just get comcast with a dvr and had it for years and didn’t even know they had a DVR but I think the world will get more into this tech stuff I HOPE!
