DVR v. TiVo

[thatpfunk]

Why would you pay for TiVo when DVR does the exact same thing for $6 a month?

Someone please explain this to me.

And DVR might be the best invention ever...

Would you pay for Kleenex when facial tissue does the same thing?

that's like saying "why would anybody pay for a ford focus when an automobile does the same thing?" tivo IS a DVR, that's the type of product it is. DVR is not a brand, and whatever you're comparing it to has a manufacturer and a product name which you're apparently missing.

to answer the question, tivo's user interface and functionality is wildly superior to anything else i've used. at present i have charter digital cable with hdtv, along with their moxi hdtv dvr. i use the moxi for hd and movie recordings only. i use the tivo to record all sd content because it's that much better to use it.

I don't have much experience with Tivo, but the Moxi DVR in my cable box blows the DishNetwork DVR out of the water. I thought it was nice when it was all I knew, but I'm so glad I found Moxi.

Interesting. I have TimeWarners DVR and have been very happy with the layout, ease of use, etc. If someone has tried both, I would be interested to hear comparisons.

My tivo is integrated with DirecTV...it's $5 a month with the Directv service.

$6 a month?

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] TiVo. The software is what pushes it above any run of the mill DVR. I paid for a lifetime subscription ($300), so I don't have to worry about monthly fees. I am also free to change my TV provider at any time- I am not tied to one service since I don't use their proprietary DVRs.

My TiVo is like a family member.

I just got DVR through charter last week, I never really thought I needed it. After a week I don't think I could live without it.

Tivo is the original, and is still the best. Plus the internet options to send other video, pictures, and music to other tivo users by ethernet is great. You truely get what you pay for.
