TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
TiVo rocks.
It has changed my leisure time.  The only &quot;live&quot; TV I watch anymore is Fox &amp; Friends and the Weather Channel.  The way it fast-forwards through the commercials then knows where to start again when I hit the play button is fantastic.  I save several segments of favorite programs then watch them in succession during one evening like a couple of movies.  I think that a better set up than this, however, would be to get it integrated with your satellite box so that you could watch one program while recording another.  (You can do it with cable and non-premium channels but not with satellite.)  Set it up to find your favorite actors or actresses and you'll see them in lots of stuff &quot;before they were famous.&quot;  Jack Nicholson on Andy Griffith?  (Played the role of a 19 year old on trial, Aunt Bea was on the jury.)  Wow, what a hoot.  I find the quality to be more than adequate but I might not feel that way when the plasma screen gets installed.  On my current old 23&quot; I can't tell the difference between recorded and live - picture or sound.
