Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
Any opinions would really be appreciated as to user friendliness, cost, features, etc.
I want one but don't know which is better. Thanks.

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
DVR much better then Tivo. Tivo you need a phone line and I believe you can only tape what you are watching? You can tape 40 hours
DVR 110 hours (trust me it adds up) tape 2 shows.

i was about to disagree with you, but you make sense. i love my tivo, but we may switch to dvr once we are married...tivo can be a hassle

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
I have TIVO. You can actually record 2 shows at a time and there are different sizes for recorders. We have the 40 hour one but they have an 80 hour one and they might, I'm not sure, have a bigger one than that.
My friends have the DVR and they say they like our TIVO better because TIVO puts the shows you record into a folder. so lets say you record 10 episodes of one show, it's all in one folder for you to choose from. Rather then having to scroll through everything you recorded to find each episode.

We have the DVR, (2 of them) and we love it. You can tape 2 things at once which is great.
WE are so happy we got it... i love that you can pause anything at anytime..

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
Did anyone get the DVR striaght thru Cablevision and know the cost?
I think we are going to get this, but I hate calling Cablevision with questions...TIA

The DVR unit itself is free, you pay for the service which is $10 bucks a month.

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
We just got DVR through Cablevision last month and love it! I was afraid we'd watch even more TV with it, but people kept telling me we'd "watch TV more efficently." I don't know about that, but it is great.
June262004 - when you say you can tape 2 at once, you have to be watching one of them, right? Or can you watch one channel and tape 2 other ones at the same time? We keep meaning to look into this, but haven't yet.
Thanks!

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
I don't know anything about Tivo so I can't compare but, we got our DVR through Cablevision and love it! Getting it was the simplest yet best decision we ever made.
oneday: You can watch one and tape two at the same time.

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
i never had Tivo, but i Love my DVR! So easy, and we really do watch TV 'more efficiently' because we'll wait about 15 minutes (for a 1 hour show), and then fast forward through all the commercials, and end at the same time

 We do the same thing. It's now the ONLY way to watch TV! I use the picture in picture all the time too.

We have DVR through Cable/Time Warner. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We first got it last spring, then made sure we got it when we moved to Queens. I even told my grandparents, who JUST got an answering machine, about it and they LOVE IT, TOO! You can't go wrong with either. It will change your life!

Re: Tevo vs. Cablevision DVR
After the wedding, when we can afford it, we are SO getting DVR. I can't tell you how many times I am like "i wish i had DVR right now!" I'm saying DVR over tivo because it's one less box to deal with!

Is it easy enough for your grandparents to use???? I like getting things that you don't need to be an engineer to use.
Thanks so much. I think I want DVR now!
