How good is Tivo?

Question

Can someone tell me everything about Tivo? I'm thinking about getting one but don't know how good it is. Don't give me any sites of anything just from your own words

Answer 1

There are many neat advantages to having a TiVo.  They come in two types: DVRs (digital video recorders) and DVRs with DVD-recording capability (I myself own the latter).  You can program it to record shows that you can watch later (especially if you have a crazy schedule).  You can pause live TV (up to 30 minutes delay) and fast-forward through commercials (provided you paused first), as well as rewind moments in the show that you missed.  

My TiVo service also allows me to access live365.com, as well as podcasts and other online services (it has to be connected to the internet).  It's also quite affordable depending on the plan you get.  I myself pay a monthly plan of $13.99 US.

It's worth getting if you think it will fit into your lifestyle.  Personally, I can't imagine watching TV without it now.
