Sony Digital Network Recorder With TiVo Service

SVR-3000

Record up to 80 hours of television programming with this digital network recorder with TiVo service. Pause live TV and watch instant replays at the touch of a button. Additional features include high-speed picture search and frame-by-frame advance.

Live TV Control

One advantage of recording onto a hard drive rather than a tape, is the ability to record and play at the same time. Say you get caught in traffic or called to the phone, you don't have to miss a moment of your favorite shows. Rewind to something you missed, skip commercials or skip forward to real time anytime you want. You can even pause the action for up to half an hour at a time. Three fast forward and rewind speeds provide superior control, plus fun extras like Instant Replay and Slow - which allows you to slow down the action anytime (not just during replay).

Now Showing, TiVo Suggestions & Saving Selections

"Now Showing" is a list of programs that have been recorded and are ready to watch. At the top of this are programs you've requested. Below that are any of TiVo's Suggestions that have been recorded for you. Unlike using a VCR, Now Showing gives you instant access to all recorded programs. There's no rewinding or timing to keep track of. And everything is labeled for you so there are no more mystery tapes. You can even set up your TiVo recorder to record to your VCR, so when you want to save a program without taking up space on your hard drive, you can select "Save to my VCR" and it will be copied for you.

Finding and Recording Your Favorites

Finding and recording your favorite programs has never been easier. You not only have several search and record options, you can also select from several levels of video quality. When you select a program to record, you can choose to get a Season Pass. With this feature, each episode that is broadcast on that channel is automatically recorded, even if it doesn't air at its regular time. Anytime you're watching TV you can instantly start recording. No more frantically searching for a blank tape. You can also make sure you see television shows that star your favorite actor or actress. With Wish List recording, upcoming shows are recorded with your favorite actor/actress, director, or a key word.

Network Showcases

Network Showcases are a great place to check out the programs and events coming up on TV's biggest networks. Network Showcases are updated several times per week. This feature is easily accessed through your new digital network recorder, and you can instantly select programs to record from the Network Showcases.

TiVo's Suggestions

Your personalized list of TiVo's Suggestions brings you programming based on your likes and dislikes. Information about the programs you rate and the programs you record is stored in your network recorder. Your recorder then looks through the TiVo program listings comparing your preferences to upcoming programing to help you locate shows you might like, but may not even be aware of. Suggested shows are listed on TiVo's Suggestions in order of how closely they match your TV preferences. Over time, as your personal TV preferences become more detailed, the list of TiVo's Suggestions will become more and more accurate. It's your own dedicated entertainment assistant that listens to your opinions and learns from them in order to better meet your needs.

Included With Purchase

Multi brand remote, IR blasters, AA batteries (2), audio/video cables, S-Video cable, telephone cord, TiVo quick setup guide, telephone line splitter, serial cable (9 pin).

Reviewed By: Mark M. - Siloam Springs, AR

I purchased a Sony SVR-3000 (Tivo Series2) unit from Vanns. Upon setup I discovered that the unit was defective out of the box. Sony wanted me to ship it off for 14 days for repair. Vanns immediately replaced the unit (no questions asked). I just received the new one and I am assured by Sony, Tivo and Vanns not very many units are defective. So I am attempting to set this one up and crossing my fingers. Out of all the support calls I had to make, Vanns was the easiest to work with. They have earned a place on my Internet shortcuts...
