Tivo is awesome- everyone should own one. I want to upgrade to the box that has the DVR in it.
I heard that they are working on a big promotion with reduced prices on the boxes to get more people on the service?Comment

How many minutes do you have on your box? I heard they have different boxes which allow up to so many minutes to record at a time? Is that true?

They need to bring them down to $99. Take a loss on the hardware and make up for it on the service. Like video game systems.Originally posted by ShellyCrash

I got mine for $299 when they first came out. It they were $99 more people would consider it.Comment

I don't know which one I have - bought it at Best Buy about a year ago.
It's the DirectTV TiVo and since I have the full package with Direct, I don't pay a monthly fee for the TiVo AND everything is downloaded through the satellite instead of through the phone. It's LD for me to call any of their numbers.Comment

Nice. This price point and a nice marketing campaign would easily double or triple their user base.Originally posted by sickkittens

I have the 140 hour Tivo, it runs around $12 a month for the service.
I also have the dvr from bright house.. It sucks!
The Tivo is a lot smarter.

I'd get TiVo, but I don't use a phone line at my house, since I hardly ever use one. So I can't use it until they start selling the ones with Ethernet on them.

Do the hours really matter? 40 vs. 140? (Meaning do you use up all 140 quicker than you think?)Originally posted by AAA Ryan

They are, just saw them on sale for $99 this past weekend. I prefer ReplayTv so I've got a few of those. Its basically the same as Tivo, but with a few more options. Both Tivo and ReplayTV are drastically lowering the prices on their units and in turn raising the monthly access fee to around $12-14/month.Originally posted by Peaches
I think they are $99........"WTF, on google you can find the answer to every question in human history, EXCEPT how to convert cams..
Its crazy..."

I have two tivo machines in my house, 2 directv dishes. One tivo is in my bedroom, one downstairs in the family room. We got them for $99 a pop, and they record about 35 hours or so on each one.
We record the family stuff downstairs (The Simpsons, America's Funniest Home Videos, etc), and the heavy stuff upstairs (Six Feet Under, Sopranos, etc).
We pay a flat fee for Tivo each month to Directv, only $4.99 - that covers all the tivo players. It is much more economical than their Ultimate TV package they had a while back that was $12.99 per month.

You do if you decide to start watching every episode of the Simpsons like we did...or my wife got on a Magnum PI kick for a couple of months before she burned thru all of those episodes...

Is that 40 hours per month to use or it holds 40 hours worth of shows at a time?Originally posted by MikeB_CE

I think each of our receivers holds about 35 hours at a time, you are not limited to the amount of recordings you make per month.Originally posted by sickkittens

They are going to come out with a new box that will allow you to email your recordings up to 9 or 10 people, so you can start sharing your recordings with family, friends, and so on.Comment

The hours actually do go pretty quick. The 40 hours or 140 hours is actually the hours if you recorded at the lowest quality.
I record everything in the highest quality so I probably only get 40 hours or so of recordings.

Cool, so to clear that up, with a 40 hr recorder, I can record 40 hrs worth of stuff, delete those shows and re-record other shows, again and again, even during a one month period?Originally posted by MikeB_CE

I've had 1 for a few years now. Its a series 1 tivo, when it dies i'll get a new one. My feelings on the matter boil down to "friends don't let friends watch live TV".
Watching a movie, get an important call? Pause.
Need to take a leak? Pause.
Can't STAND Old Navy commercials? Fast Forward.
GF/Wife suddenly wants to see every West Wing ever shown? Set up a 'season pass', and get them all on Bravo.
Dad in town, addicted to stargate SG-1, but you have things to do in the evening? Season Pass, do your thing. When he wakes up in the morning, he can watch them.
I wouldn't go back....Oh, I also picked a an ElGato EyeTV. Its a little box that takes coax on one side, and USB on the other. Plug into your mac, and it uses local disk to record...very cool.....Comment

It's my understanding that you only need a phone line for the initial guided setup.Originally posted by JDog

Then you can use a usb wired or wireless ethernet adapter.

I've got two old tivos in the garage. Bought them when they first came out. Now I use the Time/warner cable DVR which is much better. Don't have to have the remote cords and lots of times TIVO would go off after a power outage, and I wouldn't notice it wasn't recording untill it missed my favorite show. Also, the Cable one will record extra time if the TV guide changes but TIVO's would often cut-off the end of a program if it once ran late. Plus the whole modem/phone line thing is crap. Go with the Cable DVR - You won't be sorry.NICHE MONEY >> Ass Worship • Panties • Solo Teen • Pantyhose
