TiVo... oh how I love thee...

I came to a very important decision yesterday. My television and VCR alone were not meeting my weekly entertainment needs. I was forced to use alternative VCRs within the house whence conflicting shows arose. By weeks end, I have a stack of tapes sitting, staring at me waiting to topple over if I do not force myself to be seated and indulge.

Everything will be OK now though.... the gods from above have sent me my savior...

TiVo!

Damn I love this machine. We put a man on the moon, we can certainly have a device in our homes that digitally records programs for you (regardless of extended episodes or changes in broadcast time). You can pause live TV and pick it back up when you are ready, you can program your shows not only from the remote but also from your computer, you can tape one show whilst watching another, and you can hold 40 hours of shows at a time!! 40 hours people!!! I don't think I even have time to watch that much TV, but at least I know it is an option. TiVo even makes suggestions for shows it thinks you will like based on what you program. It will even record it for you so that you can check it out for yourself!

When I registered this bad boy, the company asked that I give it a name. I named him Steve-O. Steve-O the TiVo!

I stayed up really late last night setting him up, and soon I'll be able to go home and see if he worked.

Steve-O.... you are my favorite TiVo!!!
