aboz56 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Just got it today in time for the second half of the season so I can start the games from the beginning when I get home. This thing is awesome. I was just wondering if anyone else has it and what you think of it. It'll be great to be able to watch Mark B mow down the Twins over and over and over...

Mr. Showtime Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I've been thinking of getting it. Could you provide a quick review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'd love to Mr. Showtime. Here's basically what mine does. I've got the TiVo series 2, 80 hr model. Basically, it can hold up to 80 hours of programming. I've got it hooked up to my DirecTV receiver. When you are watching live TV, you can pause it, rewind it, slow motion, instant replay. I've just been playing around with those today as I just got the system put in today and put into place. Along with those things, you can set it to record programming that's on when you are not home. For example, when the Sox play tomorrow night, I'm going to set it to record the game and when I get home, I'll be able to start it from the beginning and watch it all the way through. If I only get home 10 mins after it starts, I can start it from the beginning until it reaches live TV and watch it from there. It also has a season pass feature that records every episose of whatver show you tell it to. For example, every episode of Friends that's on my dish would be recorded if I selected a season pass for Friends. The service is 12.95 a month or you can pay $300 for a lifetime subscription of your box. The prices range from $250 to $350, depending on how much you'd like to be able to store on the TiVo. There ya go. I'd recommend it to anyone, my uncle was the one who got me into it as I used it at his house several times and had to get one on my own.

Mr. Showtime Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Sweet. Two questions: 1) I've got a cable box, is that a problem? 2) Can you be watching live tv, and recording something at the same time? Like I can watch the Sox game, but be recording the Cubs game to?

Ishmookie Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 ive got it its awesome but the only bad thing is that the disc space runs out if you record too many things and it gets complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too, also have DirectTV and got this pamphlet thing in the mail advertising DirecTV@DVR.. Is that what you got? It says get a DirecTV@DVR for $199... and if you have the Total Choice Premiere Programming(as I do) the monthly fee of $4.99 is waived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're talking about is both in one, which requires a dual LNB (don't ask) satellite dish. I would have gotten that, but since my receiver is brand new, I didn't want to buy another receiver and have to get rid of my new one.
