TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
Addictive / Time Saver
I've had the Tivo about a week and it looks like this is going to save me from alot of frustration.  I am not a patient person and used to typically just go round and round changing channels because it seemed like every five minutes you got commercials.  So tired of running laps trying to find something to watch I finally decided to go ahead and get a Tivo.  So far, love it.  I get the shows I love, the things I miss because of work, school, or because they come on around 3 or 4 in the morning.  I get my sports, reality t.v., news, education shows and watch them as I want, in the order I want, and fast forward through the commercials. I bought an 80 hr Tivo.  This has worked well so far. I watch my shows, delete them, and haven't run out of space yet.  I probably have about 15 shows waiting for me to watch.  One of the few things I have a problem with is the round dial on the remote is kind of tricky and doesn't always go where I want it to.   Also, about that picture degradation thing, I use the second highest picture quality level, its good enough for me. So overall, if your a busy person, and can't always sit down during the day to watch the t.v. shows you love, this is pretty good.
