"Great product and a great price"
Pros: Much cheaper than Series3, great Tivo interface
Cons: Have to bank on Tivo's promise to deliver external storage driver and media sharing upgrades
Summary: I have to rebut many of the ill informed posts others have made. First, clearly this product CAN record HD despite what others say to the contrary (I mean get a clue - the name of the freakin' thing is - 'Tivo HD')
Yes, there is a monthly fee... read more >> -

Pros: Powerful & intuitive interface, ability to save recorded shows to computer, extra hard drive option, Season Pass, Wish Lists, Online scheduling, Amazon Unbox, monthly service fees can be less
Cons: Up front cost of box, getting cable co to correctly install CableCards, no cable on-demand (but there's Unbox)
Summary: **THE EDITORS REVIEW IS NOW OUTDATED. THE TIVO-TO-GO, EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, AND MULTI-ROOM VIEWING ARE ALL ENABLED NOW!** Both the editor and user ratings would be higher if this was the case previously. There are more new features like on screen ... read more >>

"Video On Demand...Who Needs It?"
Pros: Finally HD from TiVo at a reasonable price
Cons: Not enough storage space
Summary: As for the Video on Demand issue, the Now Playing function of TiVo offers the same functionality. You can watch a movie or show that you have recorded whenever you like from the Now Playing list in TiVo, so I don't see what is the difference. I wo... read more >>

"Review from an actually owner"
Pros: Low Cost HD DVR with Tivo interface
Cons: No TivoToGo or MRV
Summary: The unit does what its supposed to do well. I do wish that Tivo had shipped unit with eSata port active, but I guess I can wait since it is rumored that it along with TivoToGo and MRV will be activate by the end of the year.
