Customer Reviews

Seems nice, but impossible to get the Cablecard
In order to ensure that the logistics worked, I scheduled the installation of the Cablecard prior to ordering the TivoHD. Comcast was scheduled to show up on Thursday, with the TivoHD arriving on Wednesday.

After setting up the Tivo on Wednesday evening, I was ready for Comcast to insert the Cablecard and go on their way. Well, they did not show up, but after I called them twice, they told me that they do not have Cablecards and they have problems with them. I then rescheduled.

The rescheduled date came and they called me that morning to tell me that they didnt have any Cablecards. After further discussion, they sent out a tech to install a Cablecard. The unfortunate part of the story is that the friendly and competent installer brought a defective Cablecard.

I have had my TivoHD for over a week and I have only used it as a regular Tivo. Though it works as it should, I warn you that Comcast does not want to cooperate with the installation of the Cablecards.

Free TiVo!!... For a reason...
I was excited to get this TiVo FREE with the purchase of my Samsung plasma TV, but the excitement ended shortly after I had it installed by Comcast.

Firstly, in order to record or watch digital/ HD television, it requires a cable card, which only your cable company can install and costs $30. Not a problem, I did it because I had heard such good things about TiVo and I wanted to join the fun. Well, today is day 28 without cable television, and after hours on the phone with Comcast and multiple tech visits to my home, I am ditching the TiVo service and returning to Comcast's DVR.

I have been told that TiVo has trouble with several different cable providers due to an incompatibility with the formatting/ technology. I'm sure other people have had great experiences with their TiVo, but mine didn't even get off the ground...

Love my new Tivo!
This product arrived exactly as described, and was very easy to set up. I have had no issues at all.
