I am new to the TIVO family - but after leaving AT&T's Uverse and joining CHARTER Spectrum, I thought I was going to literally lose my mind trying to 'enjoy' their HORRID DVR. It is difficult, if not impossible, to go from 4 tuners down to 2. With Charter's box you can only record 2 shows and have to watch one of them! So, after the first three days my husband caught me on AT&T's website looking for deals to go back. He was upset and told me to find another solution... that is how I came across TIVO! Upon lengthy investigation I knew that I wanted 4 tuners minimum and had to get lifetime service as we did not need another bill to pay. The Elite/XL4 seemed perfect! I am very happy with the unit. I had to get a cable card and tuning adapter from Charter, but once that was done I was in TIVO land!! The box makes suggestions based upon your choices, (most of the time they are right on the money!), the one-pass set up is easy and a real life-saver after dealing with Charter. The only thing I will mention is that because we are using Charter's tuning adapter, we can only record three shows - not 4. But since you can watch something else, that too is very do-able. Overall I'm a happy camper. The other option - the Roamio, will allow up to 6 shows at once (WOW), but was quite a bit more expensive. I'm quite happy with the Elite and would recommend it. In summary, record up to 4 shows while watching another, easy to use menus and set up. Sleek design.... LOVE IT!! Read full review

I purchased this Series 4 Premier instead of the Series 5 or Series 6 because it is much more economical than buying one of the more recent units. They are available with lifetime subscription already purchased by the previous owner. It has many features including streaming and storing recorded programs. It will keep me satisfied for a long time!

I had to add a new hard drive. The tivo design is not user friendly so I had to pay to have the drive formatted. It now works very well. Due to the lifetime service transfer I do not have to pay a monthly fee to tivo.

Changed cable providers and I didn't like the DVR they provided. Purchased this TiVo to replace it and it's a huge improvement. Based on the monthly rental fees for the box provided by the cable provider, I'll break even in about 18 months. I needed assistance with the setup and TiVo support was very helpful.
