    Good Points: Brilliant remote control.
    Brilliant software.
    Upgradeable-hard disk, network, web interface.
    Rock solid reliable (mine bought in 2000).
    Runs cool, no cpu fan.
    Runs quiet, just one fan for the whole box.


    Bad Points: Only one tuner so only one recording each time.
    Analogue input.


    General comments: The Rolls-Royce PVR even though it's showing its age a little. Many PVRs and even set top boxes have flaky software and/or need a reboot every now and then. My Tivo recently ran 6 months continuously. All this on a 50Mhz PowerPC processor! If you upgrade to (eg.) 400GB Samsung drive and network card you have something there's still no eqivalent of. The best set top box I've used with it is the Sony (no longer made) and Humax FOX.

    Some feel that the size is a bad point, being around the size of an older video recorder, but it is ideal for those wanting to stack a DVD player, Xbox, Playstation, Freeview box or just about anything else on it. Despite the recorders somewhat lowly recording quality on a standard machine, the display, even on a large screen LCD is still good enough for most people. The intuitive controls and TiVo's easy setup make it a fantastic personal video recorder. Long before SKY+, TiVo was recording a f ...

    Purchased my Thomson PVR10UK Tivo digital video recorder in 2002 and it has been the best puchase ever. Anything I want to keep for a long time or pass to friends, I just transfer to normal tape video recorder.

    I got hold of my Tivo PVR by mistake after purchasing a laptop. I was unable to return it so I got a credit and purchased the Thomson PVR10UK. It really does change the way you watch TV. Instead of waiting for your program or messing around with a video it just records what you like (and learns what you like). You then watch what you want when you want to! allowing me more quality time with my friends and family. An excellent purchase, couldn't be without it now.

    I bought my Tivo back in May 2002, after changing jobs, and I started to miss my favourite programs due to the longer hours in my new position.
    Buying the Tivo has been the best £200 pounds I spent, because it really is a must have box, once you have got it set up and started to tell it what you like to watch or dislike.
    Since I got the machine, the VHS has only been used to playback a couple of films since, because the tivo leaves the VHS for dead, in terms of ease of use, flexibility ...

    What is Tivo? In a nutshell its a digital VCR, instead of using a cassette to record programs it saves them to a hard drive (like those in your PC). There are additional features such as pausing live TV, automatic recording of programs and recording of suggested programs.
    The unit its self will set you back around £150, this will get you a box that can record about 20 hours of TV. If you want the advanced features like automatic recording and suggestions the subscription service is &poun ...
