Customer Review: Broken again - warranty sucks
Summary: 2 Stars
Next week I will be receiving my THIRD TiVo HD XL in 22 months.
I love the Tivo's functions, but I hate the reliability, build quality and warranty service.
I've now had 2 Tivos break in less than one year from purchase. The first died and would not reboot 11 mo after purchase. That's when I discovered how the warranty works:
- You pay $50 to replace the box, even though it is still under warranty and it is broken through no fault of yours
- You have to send your old Tivo in first, then wait 5-7 business days while they send you a new one
- You pay for all the shipping (the $50 doesn't include shipping the broken box)
- You have to pay insurance (if UPS loses your box, it's your problem)
- You spend 2 weeks minimum without a Tivo
- You get the new Tivo and it's EMPTY - no settings, no season passes nothing. They do not backup online and cannot transfer your data, regardless of whether the old Tivo can still be booted. It takes weeks to get all your shows setup properly again.
- You have to re-download any movies you bought from Amazon or other sources
Now, that was pretty bad when it happened the first time. But here's the other catch: the box you receive is not new - it's a refurbished box. It gets you an extended 1 yr warranty.
Nine months later, the replacement box broke too. So now I have to repeat the above process, losing all my settings and paying $50 for the privilege of getting their broken box fixed
Bottom line: If I knew I'd be spending another $50 PER YEAR and having to start from scratch each time, I would think twice about buying a Tivo. The Tivo "experience" is better than a cable company DVR, but not if I have to replace it once a year and spend more than $200 per year on subscription+shipping+repair.
Unfortunately, the new Tivo premiere appears to be even more problem-prone and this is the last Tivo I will buy. I want an "appliance" that just works. Tivo isn't it.
