RCN's new TiVo T6 DVR is a powerful, six-tuner entertainment system with an incredible recommendation search engine and enhanced user interface. The TiVo set-top box includes a whopping 1TB hard drive, which means you'll be able to store huge amounts of television, even in high definition. RCN's TiVo T6 DVR delivers the following exciting features:

• More streamlined user interface – Interaction with this TiVo device is smoother, faster and easier, making access to content faster than ever; and
