Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
The best part of my entertainment system...
I bought my TiVo back in January and it continues to amaze me how incredible it is.  I'm sitting on the couch watching Friends last night.  It's five minutes into the show and my roommate calls.  I pause the  show...He asks me if I'm watching friends, I say yes, he asks me to hold up  for him...he'll be home in ten minutes.  I rewind the show to the  beginning, leave it on pause, and wait for my roommate.  At 8:15 we start  watching the show, skip all the commercials, and are done by 8:35.  And it  hits me how this would have been impossible last year.<br />And then, we watch  Northern Exposure, which TiVo automatically records every day while we're  at work.  I'm not even sure when it's on or what channel.  I don't have to  know.<br />Tonight?  TiVo recorded Waking Ned Devine a few nights ago because  it thought I might like it.<br />TiVo has definitely changed the way I watch  TV.  I'm getting to see better shows, watch them whenever I want, and skip  all the commercials.
