Editorial Review: Product Description: TIVO TCD649080 Tivo(R) Series2(TM) DT 80-Hour DVR Uses hard disk instead of video tape; Records from 2 basic cable channels or 1 basic cable and 1 digital cable channel; Up to 80-hour recording capacity; Ethernet and USB ports; Requires TiVo(R) subscription Tivo(R) Series2(TM) DT 80-Hour DVR Amazon.com Product Description: The TiVo Series2 DT does something that only DirecTV TiVo users have enjoyed up till now--the ability to record two shows at once. This dual-tuner (DT) TiVo Series2 is the first standalone DVR that's optimized for households with cable television. Now, you'll never have to miss any of your favorite shows--even if they're on at the same time. It also offers the same entertainment services as other TiVo Series2 DVRs, including digital music, digital photos, remote scheduling, and hassle-free favorites recording. All this and the famed luxury of being able to pause and view instant replays of live television, too. TiVo DVRs record television programming directly to an onboard digital ATA/IDE hard drive, eliminating the hassles of videotape (imprecise tape searching, head cleaning, steadily degrading picture, fuzzy sound, etc.). This TiVo Series2 DT model (TCD649080) offers an 80-hour recording capacity. It offers the ability to simultaneously record programming from two basic cable channels, or one basic cable channel and one digital cable channel. It also includes built-in Ethernet and USB ports, making it easier than ever to add the TiVo box to your home network. This enables you to take advantage of the TivoToGo feature, which allows you to transfer programs from the TiVo box to a Windows-based desktop or laptop PC so you can watch your favorite programs on the go or while others are watching live or recorded programing on the TV.
TiVo service requires a monthly subscription fee; see tivo.com for current rates. Other benefits of TiVo service include but are by no means limited to: Season Pass (TiVo automatically finds and records every episode of a series all season long, even if the network schedule changes), WishList (TiVo finds and records programs that feature your favorite actor, director, team, or even topic), Smart Recording (TiVo detects line-up changes for you and suggests programs to match your interests, if desired), and Showcases (exclusive entertainment plus recording shortcuts from some of the most popular networks on TV). You can even train TiVo to autorecord more shows you'll love when you use the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons on the supplied remote. Parental controls let you lock channels or set ratings limits based on content.

 Rating:  - TiVoGot this to have at my son's house when I visit. I love it! They love it too! Easily set up, never miss a show again!! Rating: - Does its job wellWe have Dish Network but have discontinued most of the regular and local channels ( get OTA HD for locals via antenna). I just subscribe to 2 international channels which are a must for my family. After building a computer PVR and loading Sage TV software I found out that it was very user unfriendly. Finally I got a good deal on Amazon ($185 with $150 rebate) and bit the bait. What the heck, it would only cost me $30 plus a year's programming ($129). Well I am hooked. My wife, who was very skeptical ...

I have yet to find a flaw with this piece of equipment. It records what its supposed to, when its supposed to. I love my new TiVo. Rating: - Great product for great price (with the rebate)This is my third Tivo unit. After many years of faithful service, my second tivo started to give me trouble. Although both units have 80GB HDs in them, this new one features dual turners so I can record two shows at once. With the rebate that was in effect at the time of purchase, the final cost was $68.00. Considering it would have been over[...] to repair the other Tivo, this was a no brainer. Be aware that the series 2 Tivos cannot handle HDTV. If you have HDTV, you need to get the series 3 ... Read More Rating: - Great product ( once it's configured)I am so grateful for the reviews posted here that warned me that set-up could be a nightmare. Since I was prepared, I wasn't surprised when it took four calls to tech support to get wired up and running. The first call took almost an hour, which got me connected through a receiver so that I could use my speakers, not my TV's speakers. I was treated with great patience and kindness, despite my extreme lack of competence with this type of thing. The next two calls (to get the TIVO wireless USB adapter ... Read More |
