She doesn't need to watch a show when it's on, she can watch it when it's convienient for the both of you. She doesn't have to miss a show, as the TiVo will record it for her. She doesn't have to watch something she doesn't want to watch (wasting TV time, who'd have thought?) as all her shows are saved. Best of all, it gives you some control over the TV; the more control you two have over the TV, the easier it will be to wean her.This is good also because she can just record a show if you need to interrupt her, or pause live TV and go back to it later. She can even rewind and fast forawrd through commercials, to spend less time actually watching TV.It's a fairly cheap monthly service, and if you have direct TV you can watch one channel while recording another, or record on 2 simultaneously, very useful.This isn't a solution to the problem, but it might help with some of the symptoms. Have that talk, and maybe use the TiVo as an initial compramise.- Kemrain the Hopefully Helpful.</blockquote>
