 Simply Amazing! October 12, 2008

I purchased this box after switching from Verizon FIOS to Time Warner cable. As owners of two Series 2 DVRs sitting in a couple of our bedrooms in our house, we decided that we had to go to the Tivo HD DVR in our entertainment room after about 20 minutes of experiencing our new HD DVR from the cable company.
Once we received the DVR from Amazon a day later, we had the cable company show up with our new Cable Cards. It took about two hours because the technician wasn't sure what to do with them. After we finally got the signal in through the Tivo, I was very happy to have a Tivo in our main TV viewing area. The features are relatively the same as the Series 2 DVRs but the main advantages were the dual tuners and, of course, HD. I eventually purchased the Western Digital WDG1S5000VN 500GB My DVR Expander eSATA so that we can add more recording capacity and had it the next day from Amazon. The extra space really made the difference for us. The Tivo Recommendations feature which allows your Tivo to record things you might like is one of our favorites. The expanded space on our new Tivo HD gives on average about 100 extra shows that we normally wouldn't catch because we don't really watch live TV anymore.
In all, I have no regrets in getting the Tivo HD DVR and would highly recommened this device for those people who want to get away from the lousy HD DVRs supplied by cable and satellite companies (unless, of course, they supply you with a Tivo).
 Gray or Partial Recordings. October 9, 2008
I call them as I see em. (San Jose, CA)
Two different Tivo HD units I have tried reset their tuners every 4 hours which causes it to stop recording (partial show record) or to lose buffered pause time. The reset is not a full unit reset, it takes less than a minute for this "tuner" reset at which time both tuners go gray screen then come back on what ever channel tuner 1 was on (more proof of not a full reset is if you turn on Tivo's clock display they both come back up with the clock still displaying, a box reset would turn the clock display off). The reset can also cause the gray screen issue (screen is gray only on the channel you are watching, all other channels are OK). Tivo would love for me to believe I am the only one having this problem but the truth is this is common. I am going to return my unit and wait for the day/month/year Tivo finally resolves this issue before I buy another. Until then I am going to use the cable company's dual tuner HD DVR box instead.
Figure on another $40 - $60 October 5, 2008

for the Tivo brand wi-fi adapter. This unit doesn't accept any other brand of USB wi-fi adapter. Never mind that the earlier Tivo's did. Never mind that 802.11x is an international standard and all compliant units provide the same functionality.
This is bald-faced profit-gouging. I thought the Tivo brand was better than this.
Great product October 4, 2008

I got sick of paying for direct TV, so I got this and a large over air antenna. Now I pay for the shows I want on amazon, and get the rest for free. It will take me a couple of months to recoup the cost, but not that many. It has great recording quality, and if your TV is like mine, and you need to buy an HD receiver to get HD, this has it built in, while a plane receiver would normally cost around 150-200 anyway.
This will not work with Direct tv, so be careful there. over air and cable only.

What can I say. This is my second TiVo HD. It is the only way to watch HD TV, and now I can watch a program on one TiVo that was recorded on the other. I highly recommend.
