[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 773342, member: 4779"] I couldn't agree more. TiVo is one of those things that was well worth the money I spent (and spend monthly for the subscription fee). It has a few little glitches but catches many things that a VCR simply can't. For example, the first episode of Alias was 71 minutes long. I just told TiVo to record it and blammo it got the whole show. Many folks missed the last 10 minutes who taped it. Sometimes it will even catch last minute broadcast changes (it updates early in the AM via modem) and record them properly. The only recent thing it didn't catch was the last Thursday when the President gave his State of the Union and I missed almost all of Survivor (no big). I have been able to catch so many reruns of things I didn't even know were in reruns (Brisco County Jr., 2 Guys and a Girl, Ren and Stimpy, etc). Plus (and this is HUGE for me) you can pause and rewind live TV (up to 30 minutes). So if you are watching sports and missed something because a girlfriend, phone call, bathroom break, etc. got in the way you can go back a still catch it. If I am around to watch something I will usually put it on the channel and pause it. Then I'll turn it on about 20 minutes later so I can watch the entire show (most of the time) without all the commercials. Great stuff!! :cool: [/QUOTE]
