We really need a DVR player now that we have a little boy. Any ST suggestions

Posted by The Legend of CQ Hollow (aka CQ) Nov 1 '10, 06:48

cablevision offers one, but I think it'$15 extra a month. Might as well buy one

Responses:

When we switched back to Cablevision we got triple play with one DVR included. Not sure the monthly fee. -- nm - lileve Nov 1, 08:12
we used the cox dvr while we still had digital cable, but when we dropped down to limited basic, the dvr had to go too, so we picked up the Tivo. - TFox Nov 1, 07:19
If it's available in your area, I highly recommend U-Verse. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 06:54
Short of building your own, Tivo is the best -- nm - kilbooooo Nov 1, 06:51
First get one from cable or satellite provider to see what you think then take time to decide on a purchase model. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 1, 06:51 7
- yeah. i use the comcast one + it's totally fine. i actually got a tivo free as a package deal with my tv, but i sold it....nm - x Nov 1, 07:08 3
  - I find with the comcast one that it doesn't have the storage space needed - Will Hunting Nov 1, 07:23 2
    - yeah, i don't watch anywhere near that much tv a week. i olnly record a handful of shows + occasional soccer matches....nm - x Nov 1, 07:57
    - you make a good point. when we had cox, we were std def only. i don't know what it would hold with HD shows. not a lot. -- nm - TFox Nov 1, 07:27
- this is what I would do. -- nm - decline Nov 1, 06:52 2
  - Unless you watch a lot of TV, I'd say this as well. You're not locked in, haven't shelled out $100's, and can try it for a few months. - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:57 1
    - yeah, I think this is the option. We really don't watch too much. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:58
TiVo. All others suck in comparison. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:50 12
- is there a subscription I have to pay for with Tivo? -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:51 11
  - This is what gets me...I'm already paying for my TV...now I have to pay to record my TV? - Jim Nov 1, 07:05 5
    - For me, it's worth it for the ease of use, the menus, etc. - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:08 3
      - Your IM is probably a large part of it. U-Verse couldn't be too much easier, I don't think. - Jim Nov 1, 07:10 1
        
        We've been tempted to try out U-verse. - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:17
      - I tried theirs once and it was horrible in comparison. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:10
    - it's worth it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:08
  - I got the lifetime subscription and it was well worth it. Also, Tivo is a thousand times better than the others. -- nm - dr. frankenloosi Nov 1, 07:03
  - Yes, I think it's $16.95/month for the first one? (It's worth it.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:52
  - yes. -- nm - decline Nov 1, 06:52 2
    - huh, might as well use the one that's provided through cablevision then -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:53 1
      - no. -- nm - dr. frankenloosi Nov 1, 07:03
