You can actually control live TV: pause it, reverse it, play it in slow motion. You can even watch a recorded program from the beginning, while the recorder simultaneously finishes the recording. With the DVR-810H, there’s just no going back to the old way of watching TV.And those shows and other content you want to keep for a longer period of time? Burn them onto a DVD-R (permanent; can’t be erased) or DVD – RW (can be erased/written over many times).

You can even record content to the hard drive while dubbing different content from the hard drive to a DVD. It’s fast and easy, and the content remains in a digital state throughout, so the quality level is very high.The DVR-810H features PureCinema 2: 3 Progressive Scan for a more film-like presentation when watching movies; a 9-bit/27MHz video DAC for a truly superior picture; Faroudja Directional Correlation De-interlacing, or DCDi, for a smoother, more natural picture; and a sophisticated noise reduction circuit which can achieve an amazing 6-10dB of noise reduction.The DVR-810H also features Dolby Digital and DTS Digital surround sound outputs, plus CD and MP3 compatibility.

I just bought this thing from Amazon and all I can say is WOW!!!!
This is probably the best purchase I have ever made. This thing is everything I ever expected and more!! It’s easy to use as well – even my wife can operate it!
I have to say, everyone out there who is thinking of buying this, stop thinking. I bought it and I am extremely happy with it the moment I powered this thing on. YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS PURCHASE! I GUARANTEE IT!!!

I received my TIVO recorder last week and love it. It was simple to hook up and the picture and sound are terrific even when recording at basic quality.

I love this product, I have been a TiVo user since 2001 and I have to say this latest TiVo is great. I travel a lot, and being able to take all my TiVo programming with me is a wonderful thing. I also saw the pixilation issue but I bumped up my quality (you can record TiVo at different quality levels.) and now I do not have a problem. And the higher quality does not seem to take up much more disk space. There was also a bit of flicker on one of my “lower” non-digital cable channels, but I was getting real poor reception, that has been fixed, and now I don’t see it anymore. I would say if you want to easily record TV and then make DVD recordings of those shows I would say get this recorder now!

Pros:
1. Good user interface
2. You can pause live TV
Cons:
1. There is PIXELIZATION problem with this unit unless you record in fine setting. So, you have 13 hours of recording, not 80. BTW, the worst recording setting is crap !!
Tivo SUCKS !! TIVO basic will not allow to
1. Record different programs at different modes UNLESS you change the setting after the first recording and before the second one starts.
2. No TIVO promotions are applicable for TIVO basic. TIVO has a $100 rebate for all models but only if you upgrade to TIVO plus (costs $300 lifetime)
3. TIVO online scheduling is not for TIVO basic.
Even if you upgrade, you still have
1. Unreadable channel guide – TIVO tries to show as many channels and hours of programming as possible. If you do not have a 40″ TV or bigger, forget trying to read the channel guide
2. You cannot edit out commercials, you can only forward through them. So your DVDs will have commercials.
3. You have to fast forward through commercials – no minute skip button.
4. TIVO will not transfer subscription (unlike Replay TV) from one box to another (in the event this unit goes bad). So even if your unit covered by warranty, you get the unit replaced but pay TIVO another $300 for lifetime service
Recommendation: Add $300 to the cost while comparing with other units. Definitely not worth $820. If you do not want DVD burning feature, suggest you go with Replay TV. If you want DVD burning (with editing), stay away from anything that is TIVO. I got a Panasonic DMR E85H – no problems so far (~ 8 days)

I don’t understand. I thought all of these Tivo products used the same software. But as the other reviewer said, the pixelation is AWFUL! My recordings are High Quality are worse than the Medium Quality recordings on my old Sony Tivo box. I’m returning it! TERRIBLE MACHINE!
