OK, so I never really got what all the hype about Tivo was about. Even though I'm a "techie," I'd always recorded my shows the old-fashioned way -- on a VCR -- and was fine with it. Then my cable company offered a deal that was too good to pass up, and it included a DVR. I liked it just fine, and it worked for me. I moved about 300 miles away, and the cable provider didn't offer DVRs. I decided to suck it up and just buy a Tivo, and lemme tell you, it's WAY more than just a DVR. My favorite feature is that you can plug in a name or whatever and it will find (and if you tell it to, record) every instance with that name in it. I especially like it for musical groups: I get to watch them perform live on shows like "Ellen" that I don't normally watch.
