Two words: TIVO
Like the microwave, I have no idea how I lived without it.
I agree. I don't know how I ever lived without the DVR from my cable company.
It gets used every single day. I don't know if TIVO does anything this won't do. The cable company says it is the exact same thing.
We love it.
I'm still trying to get used to CELL phones .
And failing miserbably...
Re: TIVO. Love it, love it, love it. However, I DO know what we did without it. We rarely watched TV! We were never home or couldn't remember when certain shows were on. Now there is ALWAYS something to watch, even if it's just old Star Trek re-runs. I also love that I have more control over what my kids watch.
