TIVO and Ultimate TV. Any recommendations?


I am considering the purchase of a digital hard drive recorder like TIVO or Ultimate TV. Is the TIVO company financially solid? I don't see Sony or Philips TIVO products advertised any longer by the major electronics chains like they have been in the recent past. I'm a little concerned about buying into a service that may not succeed. Any insight into the situation would be greatly appreciated.

You'll find the Replay systems are better, and don't require a monthly fee...though the price accounts for that. They also have much better seach features than the TiVO.

I've had a Replay for two years, and can't imagine living without it, it's that good, and all I know who have any of these feels that way. What ever you go with, you'll love!

TiVO is OK, but you'll do better with Replay, Ultimate TV is limited to satalite only, but can record two channels at once.... a distinct advantage over both the others, but I must say, it's rare I want to watch two channels at the same time......
