Because of this, and the fact that they have two tuners, DirecTiVos are able to record two programs at once. In addition, the lack of digital conversion allows recorded video to be of the same quality as live video. DirecTiVos have no MPEG encoder chip, and can only record DirecTV streams.

Unfortunately, Series1 DVRs cannot use this new guide data. Series1 DVRs received their final guide update on 9/15/2016 and are no longer able to create any new recordings from the program guide as of 9/29/2016. Customers are still able to access any existing recordings on the DVR and are able to create manual recordings, but Series1 DVRs no longer receive updated guide data.

It includes ports (for and adapters), a new CPU, and more RAM. The availability of network connectivity has spread to the software side, where new features like and applications are now supported.Series2 TiVo systems are based on processors connected to encoder/decoder chips and high-capacity hard drives. Current Series2 units have drives of 40–250GB in size.

Audio is RCA stereo, and the DVD systems also have digital optical out.
The Series2 systems also have USB ports, currently used only to support network (wired and ) adapters. The early Series2 units, models starting with 110/130/140, have USB 1.1 hardware, while all other systems have USB 2.0.Some models manufactured by Toshiba, Pioneer, and Humax, under license from TiVo, contain / drives. The models can transfer recordings from the built-in hard drive to DVD Video-compliant discs, playable in most modern DVD systems. The video encoding on these models was modified to match the DVD standard so transferring to DVD does not require transcoding.The Series2 standalones can only tune analog signals, so to comply with rules on, models that record from channels are no longer sold.

In addition, the lack of digital conversion allows recorded video to be of the same quality as live video.
DirecTiVos have no MPEG encoder chip, and can only record DirecTV streams. However, DirecTV has disabled the networking capabilities on their systems, meaning DirecTiVo does not offer such features as multi-room viewing or TiVoToGo. Only the standalone systems can be networked without additional unsupported.The HR10-250 DirecTiVo units can also record HDTV to a 250GB hard drive, both from the DirecTV stream and over-the-air via a standard - or -capable antenna. They have four tuners (two DirecTV and two ) and, like the original DirecTiVo, can record two programs at once; further, the program guide is integrated between over-the-air and DirecTV so that all programs can be recorded and viewed in the same manner. Recording capacity is variable, up to 30 HD or 200 SD hours.

In April 2010, it was superseded by the Series 4 'TiVo Premiere' and is supported but no longer manufactured by TiVo for North American markets.The Series3 DVR features support for and has two tuners. In North America, they each can receive analog and HDTV over-the-air ( and ) in addition to both analog and digital cable. Encrypted digital cable is decoded through available from the cable providers. As of September 2009 satellite TV connections are not supported.
In Australia and New Zealand, the dual tuners support the recording of two digital over-the-air signals at the same time, whilst playing back a third.With the dual tuners, it can record or view any two sources simultaneously. For example, two over-the-air broadcasts, two cable programs, or any combination can be recorded at the same time. The initial hardware release (TCD648250B) was unable to take advantage of and required the use of a pair of CableCARDs to enable its dual tuners with encrypted digital cable. The follow-up Series3 models had an option of using either one Multi-Stream card or two single stream cards.(SDV), a technology which allows cable providers to only send the channel streams being watched instead of the entire channel lineup in order to better manage bandwidth, requires a USB attachment to a separate tuning adapter available from the cable providers.One port and two sets of, and outputs are included. The Series 3 is also the first DVR to feature -certified audio and video.
The unit is also equipped with two ports, a port, and a telephone, which are all used to connect to the TiVo service. The built-in wired Ethernet or an optional USB wireless adapter can download from various providers.
Multi-room viewing and transferring programs to and from a PC is allowed. HD content may only be transferred between Series 3 units.A Series 3 can be connected to several types of televisions and if necessary convert to the appropriate resolution. This allows displaying HD channels on older TVs using composite or s-video connections.Storage can be increased to 2 TB by replacement of the hard drive—something that can be done professionally, but is usually done by users familiar with how to perform PC drive replacement. An external SATA port allows up to 1TB in additional storage when using TiVo-certified external hard drives. CPU:.

With the release of the Bolt UES (Series 6) model, TiVo's CMO Ira Bahr publicly stated on October 2, 2015, the following in regards to S1-S3 TiVo units: 'Specifically, if a box is on a monthly plan, AND the account gets cancelled, we will not re-activate it.
PLS Product Lifetime Service boxes are exempt of course. And yes, we will transfer account ownership on these PLS boxes. We presently have no plans to discontinue the TiVo Service to any active TiVo device.' On September 15, 2016, TiVo ended all support for Series 1s, though Series 2s and 3s with active subscriptions still receive guide data.
On 31 October 2017 support for TiVo in Australia and New Zealand ceases with the shutdown of the EPG.Series4 Premiere TypeManufacturerModelCapacityTunersNotesSoftware VersionHoursHD/SDGBStandaloneTiVoTCD746320 (a.k.a.

The higher-end Premiere model features a more sophisticated remote and larger hard drive.
The TiVo Premiere has the features of the Series 3 TiVos with the addition of support for high definition video, and a new high definition user interface using Haxe. It is also compliant after cutting power consumption by 35% to 45%. The slimmer unit relies on a single Multi-stream CableCARD ('M-Card') slot and uses a processor delivering greater performance. Communication speeds are claimed to be 3 to 5 times faster than a TiVo HD, and supports an optional QWERTY keyboard remote that communicates via (recently discontinued).
Like the Series 3, it does not support analog video input from devices such as or set top boxes as do the Series 2 TiVos. The new user interface is meant to seamlessly integrate features such as, and video, and make development of such applications easier through use of (Flash Lite 3.1 + 2.0).

a resource for everything about TiVo DVRs.
Though TiVo digital video recorders require subscriptions for full functionality, TiVos can be used without a subscription. Without a subscription TiVos won't be able to access updates to its program guides. This keeps users from scheduling recordings. Also, when users don't have an active subscription, they cannot access streaming services such as Netflix, Pandora Radio or Amazon OnDemand. Typically, the only functionality a TiVo can perform without a subscription is 'Trick Play,' which allows users to pause, fast-forward or rewind live television.
