Well its now 2010, and the Thomson tivo counts as my longest owned gadget since 2002 !
This was I think the first hard disk TV recorder, in 2000
Released long before anyone had heard of SKY+, somehow it didn't catch on here in the UK, but its better than sky+ as it can record based on a keyword. And when your not using it it records stuff similar to what you like and stores it on the HDD. Oh, and it remembers all your series links forever.
Anyway just popped on here since mine died (hard drive went south),
and after a quick phone call to tivocentral.co.uk I got a replacement the very next day !
Tivo back in service and recording freeview !

Despite the series one boxes still being operational and faultless at this time, the launch of the new Virgin Media boxes with Tivo at their core has coincided with Tivo discontinuing the EPG broadcasts for the series one boxes. Without the EPG Tivo is no longer a viable proposition for anyone wanting a PVR. June 1st 2011 sees the end of the series one boxes.
