Best PC based DVR From TiVo

This article represents a summary of the reviews we found on the net about some of the top TiVo TCD DVRs series.


Starring the TiVo TCD649080, the TiVo TCD746320 and, last but not least, the TiVo TCD652160.

A look at the perks of each item:
The TCD649080 scores as another good product from the guys at TiVo. The most notable feature of all TiVo products is the ability to record 2 shows at once while watching a third. Talk about multitasking, this is as far as you probably want to go. Also, you can schedule other recordings when you want to go away on vacation or something. Compared to other TiVo products, this does well in terms of storage space. It can record up to 80 hours of HD programming. This one is also the cheapest of the three. (150)

The TCD652160 is a more delicate and smart choice. Also capable of recording 2 shows at once while you’re watching a third, but also lets you play those shows in slow motion, you can rewind them, play back all the while retaining the true HD quality. However, the downside is that you can only record 20 hours of HD shows at a time. As far as the price is concerned, it’s almost double the first one. (300)

Last but not least, the TiVo TCD746320 Premiere. As can be expected, this one also allows for the recording of 2 shows at once while watching a third, and also has slow motion and instant replay live TV functions. You get access to a vast Internet library through Season Pass, which we found out is pretty useful. One thing to set the TiVo Premiere apart is the good audio quality combined with access to Live 365 as well as your own music library. The downside is that it’s the most expensive.

Conclusion:
In the order of quality over price, the best is without doubt the TCD746320 Premiere, but it’s around 500$. Then come the other two, and depending on what you like, lower price and more storage but slightly lower quality or high quality, low storage and twice the price.
