Let’s face it; my Mother doesn’t care about built-in Ethernet or CableCARD 1.0 & 2.0 support. All my Mom would like to be able to do is record two shows at once. Also, with all these wonderful capabilities, what do you think the price tag is going to be? Some people including myself have estimated that the price will be $500 or upwards! Do you really think that my Mom who simply has a Series 2 TiVo that I gave her will be willing to pay $500+ for a Series 3 TiVo that has more functionality then she needs?

TiVo’s GUI (graphical user interface) is one of the reasons why the product has been so successful. After all how many high tech gadgets can put in front of your parents or grandparents and watch them use that device successfully? That being said, TiVo has taken the extra step to provide a number of shortcuts to some of the most common features. These shortcuts allow the user to navigate through the system via one or two commands. To access these shortcuts, head on over to the TiVo Central screen (press the “TiVo” located at the top of your remote) and press any of the following buttons to jump to their respective functions: [...] [...] Nobody can argue that TiVo has a wonderful user interface.

I am also a mom (almost 59, 6 kids 13-33, 2 grandkids, and a retired scientist - great to be a stay at home mom at last). So I do not know what the initials mrv stand for. Can you please tell me? Sony burning software was miserable, so I ignored it after the 15 day trial and bught a Humax DVD recorder plus the second lifetime. I gave the first Ser 2 to Dad. He is 87 and has no clue what he is doing, but he manages. Then I missed the capability of transferring to my computer and bought a 3rd because I was tired of kid's stuff taking over my tivo. My 13 year old and my husband get to use that one. The Humax DVD recorder (after I relaced it with free shipping because the recorder broke right away) works so much better than the transfers to the computer and Sony!

Last night I was tired and saw that "THE GODFATHER" was going to be on, so I TiVoed it! Thanks, now all I have to do is explain it to Dad and we're good to go.

We already have a 40 hour and an 80 hour. When we get the new one, the 40 hour will go live with my Mother-In-Law. I’m also less than a referral away from getting a free TiVo.
