rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linkedup8484 - I have owned one of these for about a year now (actually I have owned 5 different of the same VIP622 model over the year because DISH has sent me replacements, but I'll get to that later). The product itself on paper is nice, it has an excellent...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author holosys - Tivo has been a hellish experience. As a serious 'technophile' it deeply disappoints me to feel so frustrated about my terrible Tivo experience, that I want to warn others through this review. After suffering with TiVo for almost two...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Alright, this year Santa brought TiVo to our house and after 2 months of usage the feelings are mixed towards this new companion. It does pretty much everything it claims to be, but there is enough room for improvement that keeps us from getting all too...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kyoomac - When I first bought this box from DirecTV I was satisfied, but the box has no network connection and the USB ports don't work, etc... Then I found out it runs on linux and that a whole community had written hacks to get networking to work. These boxes...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shewolf_06340 - I was a happy DirecTV customer for a long time. Then I received this DVR as a "replacement" for an R10 DVR I purchased at Best Buy. This DVR never worked from Day 1, and DirecTV scammed me into another two year contract to boot. I was told over the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tanoami - I have a satellite TV receiver from Dish Network. Basically it works ok. Sometimes there have been bogus pay per view charges on my bill. Dish Network customer service refused to refund the bogus charges. Now I have a proof that they do bogus charging...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rwcat - I hooked up with DISH network almost a year ago and I am so glad I went with the DVR option. I have the dual tuner, standard definition 100-hour recording model. As the title of my review implies, this is my first DVR and I love it. I rarely watch...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author madoc1 - I bought this tuner in March of 2006. It now only displays garbage from the OTA digital tuner, but displays on-screen menus without a problem. This pretty well narrows down the issue to the tuner box itself. Unfortunately, Humax will only warranty their...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author swb - After years of getting cable television via Adelphia (remember their scandal?), I decided to switch over to the DISH Network. That was over two years ago. My original installation included a DTV receiver, which was just replaced because the first one...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stockton_ellis - Let me start by saying that I love my Tivo. I recommend it to my friends all the time. Everything works great - recording, learning, PC syncing, easy setup etc. The one complaint I have is that the guide sucks. It is slow, doesn't allow me to set...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xweapon1 - I have used the worst DVR in history, it used to belong to Comcast, then Directv came out with the R15. It does not work, and they have you reset the box whenever you call for support masking half the problems that exist with this useless thing. I was...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author factotum - The TiVo Series 2 40-hour DVR was the first such device we purchased. And why not? It was a deal we couldn't refuse: the model came free with a few months of pre-paid service. It immediately changed our lives. Now we could easily record programs to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author factotum - The TiVo R54080 80-hour DVR is a pretty good machine for recording digital cable. We bought one a few months ago, and it worked really well for us. We had an older model that only held 40 hours of programming, which was not enough for two busy people who...
