Rating: Summary: Piece of Junk! Review: This product worked ok when it worked. I found it to be a touchy piece that could not be relied upon. It has now died completely, after a total usa of 4 months. The warranty is 3 months, so they will fix it for $79.95. I might as well buy a new one.
Actually Comcast sells an integrated cable tuner and DVR and that is how I am going.
I would not buy one of these, or recommend one...to a friend anyway.
Rating: Summary: Commercial Advance is the key feature Review: We have three ReplayTV's in our home and they are networked so we can watch in the bedroom a program recorded in the kitchen. The units are great and much better than TIVO because of the Commercial Advance feature which automatically skips the ads.I understand that someone brought a lawsuit that it's unlawful for consumers to be allowed to automatically skip ads and it appears that ReplayTV has bowed to this pressure. If this is the case, and if the unit lacks Commercial Advance, there is then no reason not to just buy TIVO which is the same but has stronger marketing. If you can get a unit with Commercial Advance, go with ReplayTV. Otherwise, TIVO looks great.
