The picture is about 10 times better (on Best Quality recording setting) and the convenience, well it's just out of this world.

Does this thing require some sort of subscription, or do you just buy the thing, set it up, and get ready for some hardcore ass-on-couch laziness?
Yes the TIVO requires either $10 a month or $200 for life time. I got a $100 rebate so my lifetime cost $100.You can think of it as a subscription to TV Guide because that's what you really get- info on every program on every cable or satellite system you specify.The Panasonic Replay unit (no longer made) cost a lot more but had no subscription. Ultimate TV (Microsoft's version) also requires a subscription.
If you don't subscribe you can still use TIVO but you have to perform everything manually just like the old VCR.
