DH and I have been trying to find an alternative to the ever-climbing cost of our cable bill. I was looking through the Best Buy circular today and saw a description of TiVo. It seems like a possibility. If you have it - how does it work? Is there a subscription fee? How is the picture quality and reliability?

I love our TiVo!! We have the HD version to record our HD channels..
The HD version is also a Netflix instant stream player so we watch a lot of Netflix on it as well..
Picture is great, reliability is great, searchability and recording are great. It's not cheap, however. You'll wind up paying more for Tivo than you will for your cable-provided DVR for the first few years you own it.
First, you have to buy a box ($100-$400 depending on model from what I remember). Then, you pay for service. When we bought ours a year ago, the options were to buy a lifetime subscription for $400 or pay $18 monthly or pay for a year for $200.
