Its for my mother, really

You might want to think over what level of technical ability your mother has. I'd love to buy a TiVo for mine, but she can't figure out how to (a) send a text on her mobile phone, (b) record a program on the VCR without videoplus and (c) add phone numbers to her speeddial list on her phone. So I know that the TiVo operation would be too much. Yeah I know for most of us techies here consider the TiVo menu friendly and easy, but for the generation that can't get to grips with computers and mobile phones and videos I think it's a bit complex.

I must disagree with the previous coment, my wife cannot do any of the above mentioned things, but using the TiVo is second nature.

That's cool. Something he should consider though.
