I'm a happy owner of a TiVo Series 3 HD DVR. I think the TiVo DVR is the best bet for me since it is super easy to learn and control, always reliable, and can be scheduled from the internet if you are out of town, which you can't do with hardly any cable company DVRs. Plus, for the first time in forever, you can buy TiVo with a lifetime membership fee if you are not keen on the monthly subscription. The only thing that dogs TiVo for eternity is that a large chunk of the population thinks it won't be around forever, but I disagree. Their efforts to form partnerships with other entertainment companies have expanded their service offerings, most notably downloadable movies from Amazon. So that can substitute if you're looking for VOD services. If it weren't for cable companies trying to cripple TiVo at every turn, it would be even more successful. Find a friend who has one and try it for yourself, its great!
