The TIVO HD is a piece of junk. It's sluggish, channel changes are slow, and the Internet features work poorly. from Amazon.com We ordered this product and transferred an old lifetime service (for $150 tranfer fee) to this machine. The hard drive died in about a year and a half. Tivo replaced with a refurb. model (for ~$100 fee) and transferred lifetime service. from Amazon.com We bought a HD TIVO in November 2008. We have 3 standard definition TIVOs, networked, throughout our home, and LOVE the interface. from Amazon.com I purchased the Series3 a few months after it was first released. It took a few days of waiting for Comcast to arrive to install the cableCARDs (at the time, they required a service call), and some initial trouble when the technician clearly didn't understand how to install cable cards. But once it was up and running, the TiVo is an amazing device. The search, scheduling and recommendation functionality is just amazing and much better than the standard DVR's being offered by Comcast. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I am an early adopter and bought the HD Series 3 when it first came out. For programming, it can't be beat. from Amazon.com From the reviews I have read, TiVo Series 3 HD is the best TV experience. So far, I agree. from Amazon.com I received this item from Amazon, unpacked it and plugged it in. The result was the the item would not even power on. I would have returned the unit to Amazon but I called TiVo and they mistakenly told me to return it to them. Unfortunately, I received a refurbished unit in return. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com After our local cable company "upgraded" the firmware on the DVR we were renting from them, it became obvious that it was time to look at alternatives. After reading many reviews, I decided to get the Series3. from Amazon.com
