As someone with a dual tuner TiVo hooked up to a Satellite dish, I share you utter joy with the DVR revolution. I watch Alias on Tuesday nights, West Wing and Ed timeshifted. I watch more TV now than I did before, because now I get to choose when I watch it. Even better, TiVo started recording Sports Night for me on Comedy Central…when it’s on at 3:30 in the morning. God Bless the TiVolution.

Spent my first night with my Tivo tonight. Can’t believe I’ve wasted so much of my life before Tivo.

We had Ultimate TV and dumped it in favor of Tivo. We actually liked our ultimate TV for the first 9 months that we had it. Then Microshiet upgraded it for us. The interface went from pretty good to absolutly impossiable to deal with. The Tivo definitly has a better interface than Ultimate. Enjoy it definitly makes TV better…

i had ultimate tv and now tivo. the only reason i have tivo is because directv is fazing out ultimate tv. ultimate tv is way better than tivo. it’s like comparing a vw to a bmw. tivo doesn’t start recording programs on time. and is so generic. ultimate tv would let you know when a program was starting, or record it for you. while searching the guide you can still watch tv, not with tivo, ultimate tv had way better features. i miss my ultimate tv

I’ve had Ultimate TV for years and will resist going to TiVo as much as I’d resist someone gougin out my eyes. I haven’t actually played with a TiVo unit, but have watched other people and I am frankly amazed at the inferiority of the settings, beeps and options. Maybe I don;t know as much about it, but I am way happy with the Ultimate TV box. It also has (nice if you don;t have broadband) the WebTV built in so you can actually surf from your TV as well. Go figure. Microsoft finally gets a decent product and it appears to go by the wayside.
