Digital camera reviews of TiVo TCD648250B Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder
Digital camera Review: Will never go back to the cable company boxes
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Series3 a few months after it was first released.
It took a few days of waiting for Comcast to arrive to install the cableCARDs (at the time, they required a service call), and some initial trouble when the technician clearly didn't understand how to install cable cards. But once it was up and running, the TiVo is an amazing device.
The search, scheduling and recommendation functionality is just amazing and much better than the standard DVR's being offered by Comcast.
Never again do I need to wait around for a show to air - in the 2+ years I've been using this, it has never "missed" a show - it always records them reliably.
I expanded my unit by buying and plugging in an external 1TB eSATA hard drive. Now there is MUCH more storage and my recordings are saved for longer. A highly recommended and easy upgrade.
The only downside is that some menus in the system are a little slow to load (i.e. when searching), and TiVo seems to insist on sticking little advertisements in various menus which shouldn't be there (I'm paying a monthly subscription fee - I don't want to see advertisements on a subscription-based system!).
Keep in mind that in addition to buying the TiVo, you'll need to pay a monthly or annual subscription fee to keep it running (the fee is for guide data and online account management).
Also, on-demand services from your cable company are not currently supported, but this is something that I have never personally wanted to used. TiVo (in partnership with Amazon and Netflix) now offers many on-demand services at more reasonable prices than the cable company, so this is not a problem.
