Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - still works well
bought mine in 2002 (with lifetime service) and still works great. had to replace the hard drive 3 times now but the reason i bought this model is that it has a much better remote than the Tivo Series 2's and is just a cleaner design.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Still working great after almost 5 years
I bought my SVR-3000 in late 2001 or early 2002, and it's been working perfectly the whole time. It's been to 5 states with me, been hooked up to more antennas, cable and satellite systems than I can remember, and works perfectly with the USB wifi adaptor I got for it.

The remote control is wearing out a bit, so at some point I'll have to find a new one of those. But still, after all this time it's been one of the best tech purchases I ever made.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Worked well, then kaput
I was happy with my sony until it stopped working after nearly 2 years. I didn't want to pay more money to fix the unit plus the additional 15/month for tivo. I ended up renting a dvr from my cable company. The dvr can record 2 programs simulatneously. There is a 9.95/month fee and no hardware costs. I think tivo will have to rethink its services because I can't think of a reason to go back.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - The problem is with the TIVO service
I previously reviewed this at 5 stars, but there is a huge problem due to the fact that this is a sony unit and tivo software.
Whenever you have a problem with the TIVo in anyway, you must first decide who to call. If it is a hardware problem you call SONY to get it fixed. If it is a software problem you call TIVO to get it fixed. This is only a slight problem. Yes it would be better if you call the same number everytime, but it really isn't a big deal. The big problem lies whenever you have ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - One Problem After Another!
I am a Sony fan, generally, and even own some Sony stock, but not based upon my experience with this unit! Four months after receiving it, the hard drive failed, and I had to send it back to Sony for repairs (at about $90 and had to pay shipping!). It was sent back and worked fine. Now, 5 months later, same problem!
We also have another TIVO recorder and have had no problems. I do not recommend this player!
