ReplayTV 3030 Digital Video Recorder
A must-have gadget
Very quick/easy setup and an extremely usable interface.  It's so nice to  be able to pause when you're watching live TV and then pick the broadcast  back up when you're good and ready.  The features are so slick/addictive  that I've caught myself trying to fast-forward when I'm watching a live  signal.  Now I always have a couple of recorded shows/movies on standby for  the kids to watch - instead of frantically surfing through all my channels  to see if anything decent is on.  I should have bought one of these a long  time ago...
