What does the TiVo DVR do?
To say that TiVo is just another DVR doesn't even begin to do it justice. Yes, the TiVo DVR records and pauses live TV. It records your shows and has them waiting for you so you can watch them when you want. But it does so much more. TiVo also offers the most advanced, yet very easy-to-use, set of features that you just won't get with a basic DVR. And if you connect your TiVo DVR to your home network and high-speed Internet connection you get: movie, TV, and music video downloads; access to your personal music and photo libraries on your PC or Mac; the ability to share photos and home videos with friends and family; music from internet radio stations, podcasts, and even the Rhapsody® music service; and the ability to take your shows with you on your laptop, iPod, PSP, or even DVD. But don't worry if you can't connect your TiVo DVR to the Internet – as long as you connect it to an existing phone line TiVo will still find and record all of your favorite shows, keep your TV schedule current, and make sure your TiVo DVR has the latest updates. TiVo brings you the ultimate DVR.
What does TiVo cost?
Less than you probably think! Instead of paying a rental fee like most basic DVRs, TiVo DVRs you own outright, and start as low as $99.99. TiVo HD is only $299.99. TiVo also offers several service plans to meet your budget: Monthly TiVo service is $12.95 or you can save money when you prepay for one or three years. For the biggest savings, you can opt to pay a one-time Product Lifetime service fee and never see another bill again!
