    TiVo - Love / Hate Relationship
    Ok - here goes !
    First - The Love:
    * TiVo's best feature- its great being able to watching programs on "your" schedule and not the "TV program" schedule.
    * Skipping thru the junk and commercials is heaven.
    You can watch 2 or 3 programs using TiVo in the same time you watch

This was not Amazon's fault, but the fact that the…   More reviews
    Glad to have my TIVO back, but miss the bleeps
    I have been without Tivo for over two years, and I have to say it has been painful. I relocated to Beijing two years ago and just moved back to the US this summer. When I left I didn't have an HD TV, but I bought one almost as soon as I returned. So I needed to upgrade to a new DVR, stupidly I assumed Comcast would have made some progress since…   More reviews
