Hi Eiilina ,
If you can locate your TiVo where it has access to a phone line it doesn’t have to be hooked to your network. TiVo can download it’s updates and schedules over the phone & you will never know it is doing it. Surpass if you can run a cable from your TiVo to your router you don’t need wireless and with TiVo connected to the Internet you can do more with it.
We like TiVO because of simplicity of use. The schedule is always right because it is updated every day. I can program TiVO to record from out of town over the Internet. TiVO learns what you like and recommends shows that you might like. Often times we never would have known they were on. You can program an entire season of a given series with a single click and TiVO never forgets. You can tell TiVO you like someone or something and it will locate shows for you. For example if you tell it you like John Wayne it will watch for and record anything he is on.
With my series 2 TiVO I can conveying recordings to my computer, edit them if much loved then record them to a DVD. This function will be operational on series 3 TiVo in November. You can also allow TiVO to share pictures and music from your computer. It will play the music and slide shows on your TV, bring up your local weather etc.
I could go on and on about TiVO. There is one downside and that is the monthly (you can pay yearly if you want) fee.
To learn all about TiVO check their web site here – https://www3.tivo.com
Check the TiVO user forum here – http://www.tivocommunity.com
The TiVO Community Store often has excellent bargains for TiVOs or accessories. Check them for current pricing along with your local Best Buy – http://store.tivocommunity.com/merchant….
As I said you need either a phone line or internet connection for TiVO to download software updates and program information.
I hope this helps you make the best choice.
