TiVo is a DVR (digital video recorder) introduced at the January 1999 CES. It allows a user to pause or rewind live TV and schedule the recording of TV programs to be played back later. The system also analyzes your viewing habits and recommends shows to watch and record.

The picture below is an example of the TiVo Premiere, one of the latest TiVo boxes introduced.

TiVo is arguably the best DVR for most users, and although it requires a small monthly fee or a larger lifetime fee, there’s still no easier to use and more complete DVR. On April 29, 2016, Rovi announced it would buy TiVo for $1.1 billion. The company became known as TiVo Corporation.
