we got it for a wedding present from DH's cousin!! what a great gift! its our absolute favorite gift ever!!!!!!!!!! it changes your life. honestly. & we (used to) rarely have time to watch tv!

they have it at pc richards. now i think they sell a tivo with a dvd player or something like that. keep an eye out for rebates in the circulars.

Re: TIVO owners

corinne...thanks for the link...

now let me ask another question....

what service did you get? the lifetime sounds reasonable if you have the box 2+ years...but what about moving...we will be moving 4 months after xmas...does the service carry over?

does anyone have the lifetime service...and have you moved with it...

Re: TIVO owners

I didnt get the lifetime.. i pay the 12.95 per month, the tivo unit costed me 300.00 and then to put another 299.00 for lifetime on top of that was to pricey for me..

I still cant figure out how to tape what i am not watching..

Re: TIVO owners

Do you still have to pay for cable too????

Claud2001 Posted: Nov 21, 2003 10:07 PM

Re: TIVO owners

Swags...yup, I'm pretty sure you do.

Right now, we have Direct TV, and if I buy TIVO through them, I can get it much cheaper than just buying a TIVO unit at the store. But, their availability is not as good as retail, tho.

Re: TIVO owners

Darn- guess I was hoping for another alternative to cablevision since the dish is not an option for us right now
