I luv my Tivo
Tivo is probably not the most sophisticated DVR out there. With that said, I still love it. I never even got around to hacking it or expanding its memory like I thought I would. I guess I'll just admit laziness there. I've never had a serious problem with it. There are a lot of things I think are lame. You don't need me to spend a lot of time talking about the \\"lifetime\\" subscription, or the need for splitting cables, the inability to transmit stuff back to the computer although it's on the wireless network, and times not lining up with program start and finish. There are a lot of websites out there on that. Truth be told, there are probably even fixes out there by now for a lot of my complaints. (I said I was lazy) What I will say is that it is a heck of a lot better than a VCR. The season pass feature is very nice. I haven't missed an episode of Alias, or Scrubs, or Nip/Tuck or anything else I even possibly thought I might want to see since I got it. No more worrying about whether I will make it home in time to catch whatever guilty pleasure TV movie it is I want to see. And I never have to wonder, \\"Did he/she just say/do that?\\" because I can just rewind and check. I remember the Superbowl halftime show so well. What would I have done without Tivo? I would have wondered, at least until the news. But because of TIVO, I knew. Ah TIVO, truly I do love you.
