With 5 isolated and filtered outlet banks and connectivity for cable boxes, LAN, telephones and DSL modems, this power conditioner ensures that your home theater system and other electronic components remain protected from voltage fluctuation.

I originally bought this power conditioner to attempt to eliminate a loud buzz in a Samsung plasma tv. It didn't fix the buzzing issue, but I liked how this power conditioner looked in my media cabinet and that it had enough outlets for all my devices, so I kept it. I was overdue for a high quality power conditioner/surge protector for the thousands of dollars of equipment running through it.
I did notice one improvement right away. I used to get a popping sound in my powered subwoofer when I would turn on/off the ceiling fan on the same circuit. This power conditioner has eliminated that.
My only regret is that I didn't buy a Panamax model with a battery back-up. I have a separate UPS just for my Tivo to keep it from cycling power in brief power outages. Would be nice to have everything on one power unit.
What's great about it: Looks, quality, enough plugs for everything
What's not so great: Price
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been a Tivo user for about 10 years now. I have owned every generation of Tivo box, except the very first series. I currently have three Tivo boxes of various ages and they all talk to each other seamlessly on my home network. This is a great box, with its strongest feature being the 4 tuners. It was rather painful getting this one setup with Charter cable. After installing the cable card myself and talking with a tech on the phone to activate it, it never worked correctly. I would only receive basic channels. Numerous technicians came to my home over two weeks trying everything possible with the box, wiring, etc. Once I asked for the situation to be escalated, a tech came to my house who got everything working in just a few minutes. The cable card "pairing" was the issue. Very simple problem, but one that some Charter techs don't see very often, if at all. Once the cable card and tuning adapter (to support switched digital video) were paired properly, everything works great and I am very happy with this Tivo model. If you have an iPad, you need to load the Tivo app to control the current series of Tivo boxes. Very cool.
What's great about it: 4 digital tuners, huge hard drive, simple and intuitive screens and remote
What's not so great: A little pricey being the top model
I would recommend this to a friend!
