TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
Couldn't watch TV without it.
When I try to tell my friends how great TiVo is they usually say something like \\"I have a VCR already\\" or \\"I don't watch that much TV\\". These people are just not familiar with TiVo and how it works. I've got a VCR too (unplugged, collecting dust). I don't watch much TV either.<br />This is one of those rare things in life that you didn't know you needed, but once you have it, you couldn't live without it. It will change the way you watch TV. TV guides and live TV will be a thing of the past. You'll never care what channel a show is on or what time. If my favorite shows are on at 4AM or 4PM I couldn't care less. I'll watch it when *I* want. And commercial free meaning a 30 minute sitcom takes only about 22 minutes to watch!<br />If you think that you'd have trouble \\"programming\\" it, forget that. There is no programming. If you could click on one or two  buttons, you can do all you want.<br />If you have DirecTV, get the TiVo with the DirecTV receiver built-in. The image quality will be excellent, and the subscription fee is waived or significantly reduced (based on plans) by DirecTV.
