TiVo TCD649080 Series2 80-Hour Dual-Tuner Digital Video Recorder

I purchased this tivo from amazon. After hooking everything up I plugged it in and it did not work. No lights or sounds at all. I called tivo's customer service line and they said it would need to be exchanged. I will now have to pay $20-25 for shipping plus packaging materials to send it back and then wait a few weeks for a new one.

I guess you'd have to ask my husband for the details but I know he is totally tickled with this device! He loves being able to listen to all his MP3s through the entertainment system with the click of a button. He is also happily recording all the LOST episodes were likely to get this season.

I love the price after rebate! The TiVo enabled us to switch providers and take advantage of a much better package deal. All in all it's been a great decision to go with TiVo. We'll see if there are any repair issues down the road but for now all good!

I intended to use this TiVo with an AT&T Uverse system....Although it was advertised to work(by TiVo) and I got the model that they recommended...it would only receive one channel and about 20% of the time when it tried to record, it would not be able to effectively change to the correct channel.

This product is very easy and intuitive to set up and to use. And, after using it for about a month, we find that it has altered the way we watch TV in that we can watch great shows that are on too late, we can reduce the amount of time it takes to watch them by speeding thru the ads, and we can re-watch things that we either missed (as in didn't hear correctly) or just enjoyed. I was originally against the concept thinking that we would just pile up an inventory of unwatched shows, but since they are so quick & easy to watch, that has not happened.

I was real pleased with the Tivo system. Had a few problems when I first set it up with error messages, but got assistance and fixed problem.
