Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
Tivo is obtrusive and a waste
Tivo is a pain in the a**. If you want someone picking shows for you, get it. Personally, I don't like shows like MacGyver or In the Heat of the Night, programs that it has been recording at random.

My guess is that its reporting back what our viewing habits are by random sampling.<BR>The lifetime service agreement is pretty pricey when you consider that it only applies to the life of the receiver. Do you plan on getting HDTV in the future?
