Boy, I just can’t say enough good things about my TIVO DVR!
It’s there when I need it… oops! They are there when I need them! (I have 2).
Seamlessly recording in the background yet so there when I want to sit down and enjoy my favrite television shows!
And you know you just can’t beat the fact that the average 1 hour tv show can be watched in less than 40 minutes in most cases! Speed through those pesky commercials!
And here is one application that TIVO just rocks on! It cuts downn Rock Star Supernova from a bloated 2 hours to 40 minutes! Yes, I’ll record both episodes each week on Tivo and can watch the 2 hours in around 40 minutes.
I mean hey – how cxan anyone take half of those “cover songs” being retreaded again… sure Paula nd the band make them tolerable by playing them in the best possible way, but sorry – if I hear “White Wedding” by a wannabe rock star one more time I will scream!
and that’s where my Tivo and the fast forward make it fin to watch the bloated 2 hours in 40 minutes!
Rock on Tivo! You’re my dream DVR!

Many fans of digital video recorders made by TiVo Inc. are beginning to fear that Hollywood studios will one day reach into their set-top boxes to restrict the way they record and store movies and programs.
Among the functions included in TiVo’s latest software upgrade is the ability to allow broadcasters to erase material recorded by TiVo’s 3.6 million users after a certain date. That ability was demonstrated recently when some TiVo customers complained on TiVo community sites that episodes of “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill” they recorded were “red-flagged” for deletion by the copyright holder.

On June 14th I wrote about adding a 2nd Tivo with 70 hours. I was only 4 days into owning it so I wasn’t really sure how it would impact my viewing habits, but now 3 months later I can say without doubt it was the best thing I could do!
And guess what – 70 hours IS ENOUGH (considering I have 2 70 hour tivos).
But here is the rub… My old 35 hour Tivo still has programming on it… Alias, The OC, West Wing… about 20 episodes total if I recall… But it’s unplugged sitting on top of the new Tivo…
So here I am stuck with tons of TV… too much TV… There are new shows that take my time like Survivor Guatemala.
So… just wanted to give a thumbs up on spending that $99. to get that new 70 hour Tivo… Now if they could just make it so I had more time to watch what it records…
