A good deal, especially if you don't want more than Basic TIVO
|
I bought this unit a year ago on sale (at a ridiculously low price) and have found it to be just great. It offers everything you might want in a TIVO and DVD player/recorder unit (although it does not HD-record, if that is what you need). It is especially good for those who don't need all the bells and whistles of full TIVO service and who only need the basic TIVO service (which is just fine) WITHOUT A RECURRING MONTHLY CHARGE (that is the great benefit of this unit).
I had TIVO Basic for about 9 months and was satisfied with it (and especially with no recurring charges). Having said that, I did upgrade to full TIVO service, but only because TIVO was changing its business model and was eliminating lifetime subscription service--if I had to decide what to do now without that possibility, I would get this unit and live quite contentedly with TIVO basic. I mean, Season Passes and wishlists are great, as well as a 2-week look at listings, but not at $150+ a year for me (no cable here, which makes a difference as well, as there is less to search). The Basic service makes the unit into the equivalent of a charged videotape recorder.
By the way, despite what is written below, other boxes do NOT all come with Basic TIVO service--you must get a TIVO subscription with most. Again, that is the great benefit of this box, especially for those of us with more limited TV service or needs, or who do not want yet more monthly charges or the equivalent. |
