At $50 per unit ($100 at circuit City plus $50 rebate), this is an excellent buy. I've bought 2 already and would like to get another -- for $50 of course.

Solidly built, I upgraded the hard drive myself using online TIVO upgrade from weaknees.com but I am a computer tech so this may not be for everyone. Only problems I have had are some EMI background noise when I use the DVR with RCA audio cables. I don'

Yes the fan always runs but I can't hear it unless i'm standing next to the unit. The channel menu is slowwww...when you pull up the menu, it shows like 7 channels and it takes like a second for every channel's guide to load. Very slow. I was wondering if

Affordable TiVo technology

For DirecTV fans, this is a major upgrade. Recording is a snap, you can record two shows at once (you can't do that with a standalone TiVo) and the picture and sound quality is excellent (since it comes directly from your dish, there's no quality loss).

The Direct TV/Tivo combination is alluring to those who want to get into digital recording cheaply. Tivo makes it easy too. If you are a previous Direct TV subscriber who has used Hughes receivers you will likely be disappointed with the TiVo Series 2- HD
