Series 2 TiVo Dual Tunar
The TiVo Series 2 Dual Tuner 40 GB was fairly easy ...to setup and learn how to use. My main complaint is that I can only record one show at a time. You can record one show while watching another which is good. You have your choice of video quality when recording. To be able to record more shows you have to chose the basic quality which seemed grainy to me in playback. In choosing a better video quality you sacrifice the amount of time/space you have for recording, which is annoying, but in reality shouldn't be a problem for me. I decided to buy this older model TiVo because I am on a budget and did not want to spend the money on a new, more expensive model. If finances improve in the future and I continue being happy overall with the product, I will more then likely upgrade to a model that records 2 shows at the same time while I watch another. Buying an older version used also allows you to try TiVo out without spending a lot of money upfront.

TiVo Series 2
I decided to buy the series 2 TiVo with lifetime service becau...se I wanted to get my foot in the door with TiVo and to try out the service. I love being able to pause live TV and the season pass recording setup is sweet. I also like the networking features as far as being able to get to music and pictures and movies on networked computers, however, the wireless networking feature has been less than friendly. That has been the thing I have been most bummed about. It continually loses connection to the router. I'm also bummed a little over not having Netflix access. I forgot about this when I purchased the unit. All in all it was well worth the money as it came with upgrade option for a new unit with lifetime for a total savings of more than I paid for this unit, and this unit stays active even after the upgrade.

Nice product. Remember, you have to pay subscription fees monthly to TiVo.
...I very much dislike paying TiVo a subscription fee, however, the unit is very high quality. Despite the high quality of the item, I would caution any buyer that you must understand you pay monthly subscription rates to TiVo. Once that is understood, the product operates flawlessly. I've had two units for well over a year and have no complaints about the product quality. The glow remote eats batteries like I've never seen in my life. Battery life is about 45 days for 4 AAA batteries.

Easy and organized way to record TV programming.
I bought my first TiVo for ...the ease of use. I have never been disappointed.If you are still trying to record TV with a VCR, you will love TiVo. It has an on screen list you can view, showing program names and when they were recorded. No more rewinding and fast forwarding to find a show. I highly recommend the lifetime subscription, used Tivos with lifetime are usually cheaper than what the subscription costs. When shopping on eBay, beware of sellers that use the term lifetime, but do not have the lifetime subscription on the box they are selling. TiVo has a program listing that is far and above, better than Comcast has on the converter box. It shows 8 channels at a time, compared to Comcast's 4 channels, and you can change a page at a time with the channel up/down buttons.( Comcast box makes you click through each channel plus an advertisement to go to the next page) The downside to TiVo is the hard drives don't last forever. I don't know if other DVR's have this weakness, but I assume they do. They generally last for years and can be replaced much cheaper than buying a whole new box.

I love TIVO! I... have had them for years. I would love to upgrade to the newest ones, but we do not have cable and over-the-air is not great here. So I still use the older versions. They record beautifully and automatically adjust if a program switches its normal day and time for some reason. It's easy, just set it and forget it. Then watch all your favorites when you ready to do so.
