Go to the TiVo.com website and see if they list the differences. One may record more hours

It does do the following: Selectable: NTSC: D1(704 x 480); HD1(704 x 240); CIF (352 x 240) / PAL: D1(704 x 576); HD1(704 x 288); CIF (352 x 288 So you have your choice of D1 or CIF. D1 uses the most disk space and is required in some situations that have legal ramifications. I have been using Zmodo to many people's unbelief but never had a problem. Here is the full specs on the machine you are looking at: http://www.zmodo.com/4ch-h-264-full-d1-dvr-500gb-hdd-with-4-cmos-480tvl-ir-outdoor-security-cameras-with-11-leds.html So yes it is D1 or CIF your choice. Set up a field array where it only records if something moves in the zone. Too much and you run out of disk space or start overwriting your earlier recordings.

If you can't get any HD programming, then I think you wouldn't buy an HD tivo. You can get a dual tuner tivo that isn't HD for a lot cheaper. The only reason to get the HD tivo is if you have both an HD television set and can get HD programming. Recording through a regular tivo wouldn't let you make use of your HDTV capability. Even the series 2 are still GREAT devices. I have bought three series 2 for myself and as gifts over the past several years and everyone I know who has one loves it.

I've had both. The first one was a belkin and it was touch and go. The TIVO works much, much better.

I don't think so ... the commands indicate that a disc is required in the drive before recording can begin. You should probably investigate TiVo.

Jonathan -In response to your question "I just can't figure why more cable ready DVRs aren't available without a subscription.", one reason is probably the current US patent dispute between TiVo and many DVR software/hardware suppliers like Direct TV, AT&T;, Microsoft, etc. Back in the 2000-2005 era, HDD DVR's from Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic, Direct TV and others were widely available in stores, and still are overseas. Hopefully we will see more of these manufacturers return to making compatable units for the North American market.Suggest you checkout the following forum devoted to the Magnavox HDD/DVD Recorders:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=12244086#post12244086 Jonathan -In response to your question "I just can't figure why more cable ready DVRs aren't available without a subscription.", one reason is probably the current US patent dispute between TiVo and many DVR software/hardware suppliers like Direct TV, AT&T;, Microsoft, etc. Back in the 2000-2005 era, HDD DVR's from Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic, Direct TV and others were widely available in stores, and still are overseas.

Thanks for your question. The devices do two different things. The 1050 is a Digital to Analog converter and the 3020 is an amplifier. They are both wonderful sounding units that I recommend very highly for their individual uses.

no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009 it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded. I also have a Toshiba machine with the same problem. This is a pet gripe of mine-none of the Tivos or cable co. dvrs contain a computer drive like these did; you used to be able to record to the hard drive, and then edit and save to a blank disc if it was something you wanted to archive. The fact that I PAY for cable and can't even do what I want with it makes me nuts!

I have a dvr through directv. I'm thinking about getting this toshiba dvd recorder. Let me make sure I understand... If I have a show recorded on my dvr, I can then record it to a dvd in my dvd recorder? But while the dvr'ed show is being recorded to dvd, I cannot watch a different show? Is this correct?? Thank you anyone for your help. I have some shows that have been on my dvr for a long time now that I occasionally like to rewatch and would much rather have them on dvd so hopefully this toshiba dvd recorder is what I need.

Yea you should check on the Tivo website, your model number and what is the Max size of hard drive it takes, this enclosure will have nothing to do with it.

I am sorry but I do not know. I remember when I ordered the remote I got the model number off our older TIVO and found it listed in the specifications section on the Amazon listing. I just do not know about all the different TIVO models and revisions and upgrades. Sorry.

The Direct TV Connect Kit will work with HD DVR from Direct TV. It will NOT work with the TIVO Direct TV unit, they have a software issue.

The Tivo would replace your Comcast DVR. You will have to go into Comcast to exchange the Comcast DVR for a CableCard that goes into the back of the Tivo. Comcast will generally credit you for the cost of the cablecard when you return your original box so no extra monthly fees from them. You will however need to pay the monthly Tivo subscription fee. I found it worthwile since the Comcast box can only record 2 shows at a time and the interface on the their guide is terrible. The only issue you may have is Xfinity On-Demand. The Tivo's only support a few cities so far. I am in Chicago (one of their largest markets) and we still do not have on-demand on the Tivo. I end up using my Xbox for on-demand until Comcast rolls out in Chicago.

Wouldn't work with my TiVo series 3 or premiere, which is why I had bought it. I tried various methods but nothing worked. You need a proprietary hard drive to work with TiVo. Wound up selling it on eBay.

I have had 4 tivo's since 2000. I bought the pro because the external HD went bad connected to the premiere. The first thing you need to think about is hard drive space. The pro has 3000 hours SD or 475 hours HD. I don't think Comcast's comes even close. The other feature the pro has is that it can record 6 shows at once and it has the capability of on the go usage like watching on an ipad. I think you can use 2 tivo's to watch in another part of the house. I don't use that feature right now. And another thing if you use your tivo thru comcast they will give you a $1.00 - $2.00 credit on your bill for using your own equipment. Keep in mind that with tivo you will need a cable card for it to work if you want all your channels. You will need one mulit-stream card that you could get from comcast. They do charge you for it but its a small charge. Hope this helps. I like mine so far.

I have a Roku too, and you won't need it as the TiVo has the same features. I use my Roku on a different tv since I have it.

I've had theTOSHIBA D-R400 for 8 months (virtually the same as 410 but I think it is better due to DivX restrictions in the 410, but I'm not positive). It will record ANYTHING from your DVR and will not be cropped. I love it.
