I bought a TivoHD with a 1TB drive and lifetime service last Dec. It's fed by Verizon's FIOS TV and AV is sent around the house using a component/audio distribution amp. X10 Powermids allow remote control of the Tivo in distant rooms. If I didn't already have the component amp and had HDMI connections on the various TVs I would have gone with a HDMI amp. There were some freeze ups for the first 6 months that required long and slow reboots. Tivo updated the software this summer and now it runs smoothly. I'm very happy with this setup.

Howdy - Getting ready to join the rest of the world and buy a DVR and I'm considering springing for a Tivo service also -
Ya'll are always so knowledgable about this stuff I thought I'd see what you 
suggest -

Tivo has a plan for $12.95/mo or $129/yr - is there any reason to buy a more 
expensive plan?

I've been pricing DVR's also - some come with tivo as part of the package. The lower priced ($149) has a Tivo Series II Dual TunerDigital Recorder w/80 hr cap HD. This will give 80 hours of recording time - whch looks like enough to me -
However, obviousdly there will be some programs I;ll want to save - since it comes 
with ethernet & USB ports I assume I can download programs into my computer 
network?

Once in the puter I'm sure I can put it on a DVD.

Any suggestions?        Thanks!

Take Care,
Larry T
