Personally I use Tivo2Go quite a bit, mostly just to put Attack of the Show on my iPod, but sometimes for other stuff...

The reason to go to a series 3/HD is to be able to record and view HD content -- as well as do all the other things. They did miss a few of my top ten reasons to go with TiVo. - TiVo will tell you why something did not get recorded - TiVo will list what it expects to record so you can check it with what you expect it to record - TiVo has a wishlist et al that allows you to search and record from a two week database of programming information - dual tuners (I dumped my SA DVRs as soon as I found out that TiVo had models out with dual tuners as well) Hmmm, as far as I can tell all those reasons apply to the series 2 TiVos as well (and many with series 1).

They did miss a few of my top ten reasons to go with TiVo.
- TiVo will tell you why something did not get recorded
- TiVo will list what it expects to record so you can check it with what you expect it to record
- TiVo has a wishlist et al that allows you to search and record from a two week database of programming information
- dual tuners (I dumped my SA DVRs as soon as I found out that TiVo had models out with dual tuners as well)
