This Software Is Made of Fail And Broken,
November 29, 2008 J. Pruitt "FTW" (DJ booth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nero Liquid TV [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
EDIT: 9-27-2010 - I've been informed that Windows 7 is not supported and that development of the software has stopped, so now that I have Windows 7 this software is now completely useless to me.
EDIT: 9-JAN-2009 - I just got Verizon FIOS and a new cable box. Since the cable box is newer than the software, the software can't change the channel and is thus unable to record shows, so it is now a useless brick.
EDIT: 16-MAR-2009 - After waiting over two months for Nero to reply to my tech support email I decided to try again to fix the problem myself. I discovered after installing from the CD that it was upgrading to the new version as recommended by Nero that broke the software's ability to change channels on the cable box. This means that I can never upgrade the software to resolve such tasty issues as these problems covered in the release notes for the new version:
"Resolved error that deleted all recorded shows"
and
"Fixed...Read more

Don't waste your time or money,
September 16, 2009 TIVO Lover (Virginia Beach, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nero Liquid TV [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I received Nero Liquid TV | TiVo PC as a birthday gift. I am a long time TIVO user and I love it to death. I am also a computer software professional for over 25 years. I installed Nero LiquidTV on a Sony VGC-LV190Y HD PC/TV computer. TIVO on your PC is a great concept, but this product just doesn't work. The installation was not easy, but I finally got it to work, sort of. It crashes and closes when you try to delete a season pass. You may be able to write programs to a DVD, but not in a format that most DVD players can read, so what good is that ? And their technical support is absolutely useless. I think their job description is to stall, annoy, frustrate, and do whatever it takes to make people stop asking them for support. And forget about a refund. They said they won't give a refund unless there is a technical problem with their product - which is exactly why I was asking for the refund in the first place !!!!! Don't waste your time or your money on this product.

Decent product but needs improvements,
November 6, 2008 J. Yuen (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nero Liquid TV [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I installed it on my primary PC in my computer room with the following spec. Asus P5B deluxe mobo, Q9550, 4GB DDR2-800, nVidia GTX 260. Recording on a Seagate 7200.10 500GB SATA2 HD and watching on a Dell 2709W.
Setup. Fairly straight forward. Insert CD, Plug in USB tuner, decline window driver search and click tuner driver on the CD. Once that is done. Install the Liquid TV software and you are almost ready to go.
Launch the application and you are greeted with a first time setup menu much like any other Tivo product. Setup the remote, enter zip code, your Tivo subscription code, select the tuner you want to use and go thru channel scan and you are good to go. (I'm using the same OTA antenna that I use for my HD Tivo)
Operations. The Tivo remote work pretty good and make it seems like operating any other Tivo product. Live broadcast look decent but not as good as the HD Tivo or the built-in tuner on my Sharp 46" LCD. I would say it's better than DVD...Read more
