This is absolutely the best DVR you can buy!
1 of 1 found this helpful The TiVo is by far the best DVR available. The Premiere is no exception. I have been suffering with my cable companies DVR for the past couple of year and I have been through 5 of them during that time. The TiVo in comparison is just more reliable and user friendly. One of the things that I forgot about the TiVo is that when you are fast forwarding through commercials and you see the show you are watching and you push the play button, it automatically goes back a few seconds taking into account your reaction time. In most cases you don't have to rewind to pickup at the beginning of the show.
The Premiere unit offers Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and Amazon Downloads. I can only offer opinion on the Netflix and Youtube interfaces.
YouTube - I connected a cordless keyboard to the back of TiVo and it worked fine for doing searches on You Tube. I did a few searches and watched a few videos but that is about all. The quality is about what you would expect on YouTube. It is a nice feature to have and I'm sure will be great to use in the future. The interface works well with my wireless keyboard as I could navigate completely without reaching for the remote.
NetFlix - I'm mixed about the Netflix interface. I also own a PS3 that I can view Netflix on and the TiVo interface with Netflix is very limited in comparison. You can only see what is in your queue and when you are looking at a series there is no way of know what episode you viewed last. But I have to say when viewing a video using the TiVo the video quality is better. I flipped back and forth while watching the same episode of Battlestar Galactica both units connect with HDMI cables and the video quality of the TiVo is just a bit better. Plus I can use my TiVo remote to control the video which is nice.
The only other downside of the TiVo is the cost. You either have to pay quite a bit up front for the Lifetime service or you have to pay $20 a month. The price and the limited Netflix interface are the only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars.
