TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
Changed how we watch TV
Thank you, TiVo - we are now back in control of our lives.  We have been freed from fixed network time slots, commercial breaks, irritating interruptions, etc.<br />There are only a few key shows I watch on a regular basis (Meet the Press, The O'Reilly Factor, The Shield, etc.).  Pre-TiVo, I would find myself re-arranging my activities in order to not miss them.  Post-TiVo, I live my life and catch these shows when it's convenient for me.  Using &quot;season passes&quot; (a TiVo function), I never miss what I want, yet am not a slave to network scheduling.  Receive a telephone call during a show?  No problem - just pause live (or recorded) television and restart your show when you're through.  Want to re-hear something important?  No problem - just hit the back key and replay what you want.  It's so easy, you'll be amazed how transparent it becomes and wonder how you ever got along without it.<br />TiVo claims that their product will change how you watch TV.  They're not kidding.  Highest recommendation.
