[vox] FS (with sadness): TiVo Series 2 DVR

[bob maccione]

Big time Tivo user here.   The missing part is if it has the lifetime
subscription or not.   If not it’s very limited but not a bad manual
recorder.

The disk is an easy upgrade and I’ve mod’d all of my Tivo’s with larger
disks, network cards (in the first gen devices) and all around can’t
imagine viewing tv without a Tivo.   I may not watch stuff the day it’s
shown but I do get around to it and skipping commercials adds hours back to
my day.

My series 2 box is the Humax with built in dvd recorder and it is still
going strong many years later.   They are very solid boxes.
