Tivo still the best DVR available! FIOS CUSTOMERS BEWARE!

Pros: All the great features of Tivo are still here in the HD unit
Cons: Will probably exhibit performance issues with Verizon Fios
BottomLine: Hands down, Tivo still makes the best DVRs. &#160;You'll pay more than the poorer DVRs that the cable and satellite companies offer, but it will be worth every penny.
