What are some features common to all TiVo units?
TiVo is the first name people think of when they think about DVRs. Even though they come in different versions, there are some features all the units share:

- Record without tapes: Like all DVRs, TiVo records shows onto a hard drive instead of tapes. This means it's always ready to record and you can watch your shows in any order you choose.

- On Screen guide: No more looking up the TV listings in the paper, the TV Guide or online. TiVo has them right on the screen when you press the Guide button.

- Pause Live TV: This is one task a VCR can't do. Watching the game? Go ahead and answer the phone. Just hit pause and pick right up where you left off.

- Find and record shows no matter when, how often, or how long they are on: No more missing shows when they change timeslots or have extended episodes.

- Quickly replay part of a program: Hit the skip back button and replay the last 7 seconds of what you're watching. This feature is great for hearing that snippet of quite dialog or creating your own instant replay of a game.

- Watch a recording from the beginning while it's still in progress: Unlike a VCR, you don't need to wait until a recording finishes in order to begin watching it. Just start playing the show and TiVo will record the rest while you watch.

- Search for shows in multiple ways: Not only can you search for shows by title, but you can find them using words in the descriptions or even actor names.
