Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is written for an earlier version of TiVo, many features of the newest TiVo are not addressed and this book is of no use.

⭐I bought this book to help me decide whether or not to TiVo. This book quickly sold me on the features of Tivo, so I bought one. The book was very useful during setup, as well as operation of the TiVo. I agree with everything in the “Big Help” review, so I won’t repeat it here.

⭐Dated, could really use one for newer version?

⭐This book is everything it purports to be, but is a bit outdated. I got some information. I guess that is why the cost was so so low.

⭐Very helpful book for one who is just learning

⭐TiVo at its best

⭐Out of date

⭐The book is out of date for current TiVo. Wish I had known, I would not have purchased it. Book that far out of date should be removed from sale.

⭐Well I suppose it would have been prudent from me to check the publication date of this book ( 2004) !
