The TIVO HD DVR is terrific

The TIVO's software, programmability, navigation, menu system, etc. are MUCH better and easier to use than the cable company's standard DVR (Scientific Atlanta). The TIVO hardware is clearly superior.
Now, with a few clicks, real-time, free Netflix movie downloads are available.
Interactive services (e.g., Pay-Per-View) are not currently available here (Tampa Bay).

Adding the optional expansion Hard Drive is much recommended.

BrightHouse charges $2.95/mo PER cable card. You will need 2 std. cards or 1 M card. You may need to INSIST on an M card to get one (recommended).

The only problem is that many cable companies don't really like cable card devices because they loose DVR rental income. Consequently, many installers are poorly trained regarding cable cards. In my case I had to tell the installer what to do.

Overall I love TIVO and would definitely do it again.
