Works for me |
I've had this puppy about 3 months now, and i'm very satisfied.
It's simple to set up, and works fine. The TIVO portion works great, and the DVD player works great too.
I agree with some folks below about recording HDTV. You can't do it. That's the only bummer. I'll deduct one star in my rating for that. But I didn't want to wait a few years for an affordable HDTV/Tivo/Dvd Burner.
This is so easy to use, even my kids figured it out in no time.
The burner is very cool in my opinion. I've transferred some TV recordings for friends super easily. If they miss an episode of Smallville, I'll burn it for them.
I've moved a lot of old Camcorder Tapes very easily to DVD with this unit as well.

Great product...couldn't watch tv without it!! |
| The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the IR blaster failed only 1 day after using the unit. Toshiba CS sent me a new one (a more robust design) and it has been working fine with my cable box ever since. I have had the unit about 3 weeks and it works great. The dvd burner is wonderful and I have been converting Hi8mm home movies to dvd with it. The interface is easy to use and understand. If you have not watched tv with tivo, you don't know what you are missing. We couldn't live without it!! Great move Toshiba....I love my "Toshivo" |

A Nifty Machine |
PROS:
1) The unbeatable feature is the ability to record to DVD. The recording is fast and the quality is always solid. A lot of cable companies' DVRs make archiving to DVD impossible. It is also very easy to do the recording, since the machine tells you how much of the blank dvd you will use up.
2) The other huge pro is the fact that this can be added to your home network, meaning you can port over songs and photos to the Toshiba.
3) Though somewhat lengthy, set up is very easy -- even the remote.
4) TiVo interface much more useful than anything put out by my cable company. I much prefer to use it over the cable DVR.
CONS:
1) No HDTV through this, but I just rented an extra cable box for $9/month for recording shows in HD. I use that for shows that I know will be in HD (and there aren't that many). The fact is, no DVD player plays in HD yet (soon to arrive at a high price). However, you can't have the two cable boxes in the same room easily, due to remote confusion (the cable remote will change the TiVo box and mess up recordings, so use separate rooms if you want the 2 box solution).
2) A small con. If you do want to hook this into the network you do need a wireless adapter that is now discontinued. These are plentiful on eBay (and cheaper than the new generation adapters), but you can't just walk into your local electronics shop and pick up the adapter you need. TiVo does list the adapters that work. Networking it was no problem whatsoever. |
