About HD Tivo

By Dana McLean


Have you ever encountered the term Tivo through someone else and didn't know what it meant? HD Tivo is a term used to describe a high definition digital video recorder, which permits the owner to record television programming and store it to an internal hard disk for later viewing. The next time you hear someone say they are going to Tivo something, you know that they just want to record that program and watch it at their convenience.

You can operate and use an HD Tivo unit just like you would a VCR. The HD Tivo is far more modern, though. HD Tivo lets you record, pause, and rewind programs that are already in progress. That means you don't have to hurry if you have to leave the room while you are watching the recording because you can just hit the pause button. HD Tivo is so convenient, which is the reason why this is very popular among those who love entertainment.

There are some HD Tivo units that can record according to the owner's preference. This availability depends upon location and service, but is often beneficial to those who schedule future recordings ahead of time.

HD Tivo products are manufactured by Philips, Sony, Toshiba and many more. In order to use Tivo, individuals are required to subscribe to a monthly service, which generally costs approximately $10.00 to $15.00 per month. Lifetime subscription plans, which were previously offered by Tivo, have since been discontinued in place of a new program allowing customers to receive the unit at no cost in exchange for prepaid service.

Like with any other service, it's really important for you to read and understand what's involved in the service. The contract should clearly state the monthly payments, the service policies, and the cancellation rules. Any questions should be asked prior to signing of the contract and/or exchange of any payment. If a prepaid amount is required, it is unlikely that a consumer would be permitted to cancel their service during that time and still receive a refund. But you should still discuss this with a Tivo specialist. You'll receive the Tivo unit upon subscription, along with an owner's manual and operation instructions. It'll take some adjustment on your part to get used to the new technology. But you'll manage to in no time if you read the manual and really listen to the Tivo representative's instructions.
