The good: The TiVo Series2 DT one-ups generic DVRs with an easy setup, a friendly user interface, its ability to work with any cable or satellite box, and impressive home network and Internet features such as photo and music streaming, downloadable video content, and remote programming. The DT model includes built-in Ethernet networking support and the ability to record a second program simultaneously.
The bad: The TiVo DT's second tuner is useful only for viewing or recording shows on basic analog cable, which severely limits its convenience for many users. TiVo requires additional monthly charges, and most of its once-unique features are now widely available in competing DVRs. It also can't record HDTV programs.
The bottom line: While its slick interface and cool networking features still distinguish it from rival DVRs, the dual-tuner function of the TiVo Series2 DT is useful only for those with analog cable service.

Summary: For SD cable tv, this works great. The dual tuners means I have yet to have a scheduling conflict. I have 2 other single tuner TiVo, but this is the one that is used the most, the others were purchased to over come scheduling conflicts, but the DT solves that problem.
