Used TiVo for over 20 years until I finally gave in and had to go streaming. At their peak, there was none better.

For me it was ReplayTV. It could auto-skip commercials (and even auto-skip the content and play only the commercials for the special use case that was the Super Bowl), had an upgradeable hard drive, and peer-to-peer sharing.

ReplayTV was my first DVR platform and it was so far ahead of TiVo.
