Digital camera reviews of TiVo R24004A 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Digital camera Review: A "100" on a scale of 1-5
Summary: 5 Stars
TiVo is just the best thing (literally) since sliced bread. It is EASY-EASY-EASY and it is the smartest 'DVR' on the market (I have owned one of ALL types of DVR's). It is the simplist to use and has more features than any other DVR. It is the only DVR that is smart enough to follow a show if it moves to different time-slots or day-of-the-week when you have a "Season Pass" which records all the shows in a series (shich means it knows to get the 2-hour season premiere AND finale without you lifting a finger). You can also tell the smart little TiVo to skip reruns.
Another feature we love is the "Wish List" which allows you to use a keyword, title, type of show, or favorite actor to constantly scan your TV programming for that specific item and then records it automatically. For example, if I wanted all shows pertaining to "ABC" actor, it searches and records them - oh, and you can say record only 'movies' specifically. Or if you like a particular sports team, just type the name in & anything on TV related to that team will get recorded. Pretty nifty.
In addition to all the cool recording options, we also love the fact that our little boy can watch "Blues Clues" at 6pm or 6am - or anytime we wish for that matter. With the functionality of a hard-drive instead of tapes (or even DVD's) we can stop a show in the middle and watch the rest later without the bother of tapes or DVD media going in & out of the player. If you so desire, you can hook a TiVo to a VCR or DVD Recorder and 'save' your stuff to VHS or DVD if you like.
The 'rating' system allows TiVo to 'learn' what types of shows or what actors you like & if there is ever any "empty" space on the Tivo, it fills it up with things you might also like. This feature does NOT ever give priority to a 'suggested' show over anything you've told it to record - so it always deletes these items first. Additionally, if you do run low on space with your TiVo, it has an simple 'icon system' to let you know what might be deleted if the space is needed - and you can always change the setting on all or just some of your shows telling the TiVo to 'never delete unless I tell you'.
The easy and flexible functionality of this product is truly revolutionary - and best of all it's for EVERYONE from kids to Grandma's. It's almost like hiring a "TV-guy" to sit on your couch & take notes and make sure you have all the stuff you want, right on your TiVo!
Summary of TiVo R24004A 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
TiVo's Series2 DVRs deliver more recording capacity at a lower cost than original TiVo models. TiVo DVRs record television programming directly to a digital hard drive, eliminating the hassles of videotape. This Series2 TiVo offers 40 hours of recording time in a sleek chassis (15 inches wide by 11.5 inches deep and 3 inches high). 
The Series2 has two USB ports for ready connectivity with your home network. This connectivity also gives TiVo subscribers optional access to exciting entertainment services, such as music, digital photos, and multiroom viewing and scheduling via the Web. The TiVo DVR Series2 is compatible with virtually every television. It also works with VCRs, TV antennas, cable systems, and satellite systems. A patented remote control simplifies program recording and controls multiple TiVos within the home (two devices can share your existing phone line). Connections include three video inputs and outputs (S-video, composite-video, and RF coaxial), one set of stereo RCA analog audio inputs, and two sets of stereo audio outputs. A standard female RJ-11 telephone jack is the channel by which the Series2 accesses the TiVo service, or you can use a USB cable to connect to broadband.
 TiVo automatically records your favorite shows. |
Now, through your home network you can access TiVo's Home Media Features. This services provides remote scheduling capabilities from anywhere you have Internet access; MP3 streaming from your PC to your TiVo so you can listen to music through your home theater sound system; digital image viewing from your PC so that you can create slideshows on your TV; and multiroom viewing, which allows you to connect two TiVo Series2 DVRs in your home so that you can record on one and watch on another.
