I've died and gone to heaven (updated 9-7-01)

by elucas , May 21 '01
Pros: DUAL TUNERS ARE HERE!!! Record 2 shows at once! Never watch live TV again!
Cons: Expensive, but worth it.
I've had Directv for at least 4 or 5 years. When I dropped cable and switched to satellite I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I got more channels, better picture and sound, and I got it all for less $. I didn't think it could get any better......

Run, don't walk to the store

by toddmoe , Jun 16 '01
Pros: TV when and how you want, excellent recording quality
Cons: Kind of noisy, it might be expensive, but still a great value.
I travel quite extensively, so I don’t really get to watch what I want. The last thing I am interested in doing is flipping through 250 channels only to find that there 235 infomercials on. I had been intrigued by the idea if Tivo for a couple of...

Ultimate for DirecTV junkies

by ephyja , Oct 17 '01
Pros: Record 2 shows simultaneously
Cons: Pricier than others (Philips,Hughes), can only record satellite shows, slow menus (see below).
I have had this unit now for approx 2 months and I've enjoyed every moment. I was a previous DirecTV customer for about 1 year, and I was new to TiVo. This unit replaced my Sony standalone DirecTV receiver. TiVo is an incredible addition to the T.V....

A skeptic's opinion of Tivo

by albrtlee , Dec 21 '01
Pros: Tivo service is indispensable once you start using it.
Cons: Sluggish interface performance.
Talk to a few Tivo owners and they’ll all probably tell you that Tivo has completely changed the way they watch television. I watch a fair amount of television, but I’ve never been a person to tune in regularly to a weekly sitcom. I don’t watch game...

SAT-T60 is a must-buy!

by tgfisker , Jan 02 '02
Pros: Easy to use, high quality DirecTV digital recorder!
Cons: Sluggish channel-changing, lacks ability to record non-DirecTV programming
Okay, let me start by saying that neither I nor any family member is employed by Sony, DirecTV or TiVo. I'm just your average poor boy from the suburbs who likes watching TV.

I've been a DirecTV subscriber for a few years now. I also have...

Multi-Task Your Television Experience

by jrgvi , Jan 12 '02
Pros: Records two things simultaneously. Perfect recording picture quality.
Cons: Expensive. Slow guide system. Have to set up a satellite dish.
I started using a stand-alone TIVO unit in the middle of December (Sony SVR-2000) and was amazed by the new flexibility that I had while I was watching TV. I would never watch a TV show live in order to avoid the commercials and it was very simple for...

Don't Buy!

by simdog , Mar 07 '02
Pros: None
Cons: Returned twice... stinks!
First receiver broke in 2 weeks (hard drive). Second broke in 2 months... forget this thing. Buy another brand. Sony expects you to pay to have it shipped, no loaner machine, and send you the same piece of crap you originally had. I have 5 Sony...

In Heaven ... until it failed!!

by schlewitt , Aug 14 '02
Pros: nice features ... intuitive to use
Cons: slow menus, terrible customer support
I've had the TiVo for a little over 5 months now. I've loved the ability of watching one program, taping another, and pausing tv while I settle the kids down. What I did not expect was the unit to fail after 5 months.

The unit froze, and...

TiVo Directv = Marriage Made in Heaven

by meetvirginia , Aug 24 '02
Pros: watch more tv in less time, directv is so much better than cable!
Cons: it will spoil you!
Update: Directv now Owns Tivo and has eliminated the monthly fees associated with the Tivo functions so they are now free!

When TiVo first came out, before anyone really knew about it, I jumped online and ordered my first receiver. I loved it...

I wish I hadn't bought it

by vaughn23 , Jan 07 '03
Pros: When it works, it's great. 2 lines in from satellite, records multiple shows at once.
Cons: Internal modem breaks down easily and unpredictably, customer service from Tivo and Sony is awful.
Tivo and Sony have some of the worst customer service it has ever been my displeasure to receive, and I discovered it with this product.

This unit has an incredibly sensitive modem which breaks easily, and your Tivo service eventually stops...

Life Has a New Necessity

by jms7 , Jan 10 '03
Pros: A great value and time saver.
Cons: Fear of bad reviews coming true.
This is the next thing you should buy if you ever watch TV. I would recommend getting TiVo before you upgrade any other component including your TV. It not only changes the way you watch TV it changes how you spend your free time.

SAT T-60 TiVo Does It All Well

by mtroutma , Jul 29 '03
Pros: Great interface, perfect picture, good storage
Cons: Slow guide updates, slow season pass management, some modem problems
I won't waste your time explaining how TiVo has changed our viewing habits and use of TV. I could never go back to regular TV again. The T60 is a DirecTivo unit, now referred to as Direct TV DVR with TiVo. That just means the DVR and satellite receiver ...
