Rating: - Quality Product
I had to write a review because after seeing how many stars this product received it is very misleading. This is a great product with only one glaring weakness. It does not have any way to connect to the Home Media option of Tivo.

This is an ideal system for someone who is new to Tivo and only needs the one system. It is very simple and has a easy to use interface. I have had absolutly no problems with this system. Which I think is the best complement you can pay to an electronic device.

I recently purchased another Tivo system and realized how much better the Sony menu system and entire setup in general is superior to any other.

Do not be misguided this is one of the most coveted DirecTV/Tivo combinations around. You will not be disappointed with this product unless you plan on connecting it to a network.

Rating: - Don't indict the product over your lemon
We bought this product within days of its release and have never had a single, solitary complaint. It works perfectly, records beautifully, and I can't imagine TV-viewing without it. We have never had any kind of challenge or concern. Every product will have a few lemons from manufacturing, but that in no way indicts the product or its features. Can't speak to customer service quality since we have never had to call...

Rating: - ABSOLUTELY Do Not Buy this Product
I purchased this Sony unit thinking that I was buying a quality product. In eight months the modem broke. The machine had never been moved from the day I hooked it up and it was always connected to the same phone jack. When I called their customer service line, there was terrible customer service. They told me that all I could do was send it back to them for repair, but that I would have to pay for the labor to fix it (in addition to the shipping cost). I will now be out of a TV for at least 2 weeks (or however long it will take them to fix it) and I am still paying for the satellite service during this time. Based on at least one other review, it appears that others have had the exact same problem with the modem breaking. I will NEVER buy another Sony product in the future and am now wondering why I spent extra in the first place to supposedly buy a quality product. I would NOT RECOMMEND buying this unit unless you want to go through the hassle and cost of sending it back for service (and be without a TV in the process).
