tivo
This seems like a perfectly good book for tivo - now I have dvr, so I doubt I'll ever read it - I need to pass it on to someone who has tivo
Very useful and easy to read
I bought TiVo For Dummies to help me decide whether or not to Tivo. TiVo For Dummies quickly sold me on the features of Tivo, so I bought one. The book was very useful during setup, as well as operation of the Tvo. I agree with everything in the "Big Help" review, so I won't repeat it here.
A Big Help
TiVo For Dummies is the place to start if you don't know anything about Tivo. I certainly did not when I received a Tivo box as a gift.

The booklet that comes with the Tivo player is a good reference but Rathbone's book provides a much more readable explanation of how everything works. It not only provides clear explanations on how to set up the equipment in a variety of configurations but also explains how to get the most advantage from using Tivo. The setup and operating menus are covered as well as how to "educate" Tivo to go out and select programming most suited to individual taste.

When I was first approached regarding "TiVo For Dummies", I was skeptical. I was an experienced TiVo user and I thought that the TiVo manual was pretty good. I wondered what such a book could add to be worth paying for. The answer turned out to be "a lot".
As easy as TiVo is to use, it is sufficiently different from the familiar VCR as to confuse many who are new to the concept of a PVR. I have seen many newcomers to "The TiVolution" plea for help with such subjects as: wiring to an existing system, setting up a Season ... Read More
