Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
The best gadget I've ever purchased!
I've bought a few electronic gadgets over the years, some more useful than others. Tivo is by far and away the best gadget purchase I have ever made. It is so bizzare to watch live tv now. After skipping past commercials with Tivo, watching live tv is unbearable, with all of the commercial interuptions. Skipping the commercials reduces a 30 minute sitcom to 20 minutes of viewing time, and a 2 hour movie on TNT to about 1 1/2 hours. Being able to watch what you want, when you want to, and not wasting time watching commercials is invaluable. Once you experience Tivo, you will never want to go back to watching live television ever again.
