With TiVo, what you get for your $10 is their program guide downloaded to your TiVo box. That's how you preselect programs to record (other than by date and time), including Season Pass and other programming features. The system has an uncanny ability to start recording a show at just the right moment (most of the time).
TIVO and Ultimate TV. Any recommendations?
I am considering the purchase of a digital hard drive recorder like TIVO or Ultimate TV. Is the TIVO company financially solid? I don't see Sony or Philips TIVO products advertised any longer by the major electronics chains like they have been in the recent past. I'm a little concerned about buying into a service that may not succeed. Any insight into the situation would be greatly appreciated.
