Another TiVo review

This one's in PC Pro. Verdict:
A huge advance on the V+ box, with more capacity, features and better performance; the 1TB version is too expensive, though.
Incidentally, Sky has reduced the price of its 1TB box to £149 now.

I love my TiVo. I agree it takes getting used to and it takes a while to learn the features and benefits. But when u do nail it and learn what it can do, you do realise how good it is. And there is still so much to improve with the updates! It's great now, it'll be amazing this time next year after a couple more batches of updates.

If people think its junk then all I can assume is you either haven't grasped the benefits of TiVo or you didn't understand the benefits of TiVo and didn't realise the benefits wouldnt benefit you.

Either way, in my opinion, TiVo ain't junk. Far from it.
