Question: I'm thinking about getting one of these from eBay. Anyone using this model with Time Warner ? Any pros or cons ?
Document: I got one a week ago. It's as good as all the reviews are saying. I'm so glad to replace my Motorola DVR from Comcast with Tivo. I've been using a DirecTV's integrated Tivo box for 3 years before getting HDTV and switching to Comcast 4 months ago, and jumped on the first chance to get back with Tivo.Others' cable card installation may be better. My experience is it's pretty much a crap shoot with the knowledge level of the cable tech.
We have enjoyed the flexibility the TIVO gives us. We have been using the TIVO service for several years. It has performed well for us, and and some point I anticipate getting a newer model.
This is our second TIVO. Wanted to move up to the TIVO 3 HD Model that let's us record 2 digital programs at the same time. And WOW Amazon had it cheaper than anyone else, and I did some shopping. A note of caution... This unit does away with the need for your cable box but needs two (2) "Cable Cards" installed into it by your cable provider.
Let me start off by saying that when I got this product I was excited. I was sold on the fact that it stated I could replace my cable dvr. I have Time Warner Cable and I know I will have to shoot through hoops to get two cable cards from this company in order to watch anything.First off, I'm not tech savvy but I don't have problems hooking up electronics once I follow the instructions.
I did not care because:2) The reception off an antenna was fantastic. I'm in New Jersey about 12 miles west of Manhattan. I get 9 local channels (2,4,5,7,9,11,13,21,50) plus between 1 and 4 extra channels for each. To say this another way, I was getting 25 plus channels of programming at any point in time, all with a clarity I had never experienced with cable.
You have to have good installers in order to get things done right. Time Warner Cable refuses to allow you to do self-installations so I had to have the installers come out to the house - and they charge you per card for installation, so be ready to shell out some more extra cash.Overall, it took me about 2 weeks to finally get my TiVo set up because they knew nothing about it and I was the one who suffered.
This requires a system reset, in the mean time, you have missed any shows that were scheduled to record. Basically, the unit is a big black paper weight.Furthermore, something that they don't tell you is that the cable cards used to convert the channel are one way only...meaning that there are several channels that you can't recieve. As a Time Warner Cable Customer in South Carolina, I don't recieve any of the west coast channels, on-demand channels, and select others.
The interface  and features are the best out there. Setup was a breeze as seems to be always the case with Tivo's. My wife says it is the best $650 we ever spent. We are both so glad to get rid of that horrible Motorola DVR.We just got a new HD set for our bedroom so I will be purchasing my 2nd Tivo Series 3.I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of buying a DVR.
I've owned a TiVo for over 8 and a half years and can no longer live without one. It's what I've wanted all my TV-watching life. I recently bought an HD TV and needed to upgrade to an HD TiVo in order to take advantage of the new HD resolution.While waiting for the HD TiVo to arrive, I got an HD cable box recorder from Time Warner. It did the job but was difficult to use and I filled it up half way in about a week.
And, indeed, a review of system specifications on Tivo indicates "HDCP not ennabled".So I'm stuck. The person at Tivo said that even if I returned the box, a new one may very well not pick up the signal. I tried connecting the Tivo directly to the TV but that didn't work either.So I connected using component cables and an optical audio cable.
Answer: I have a series 3 hd and time warner.  You need to have tw insert a cable card into the tivon then you get rid of the cable box, they also giuve you a tuner adapter for free, the card is abotu 2 bucks compared to the 8  for the cable box.  My tivo remote works for tv, cable and tivo
