Decision made....done deal.
I have an ATI All-in-wonder X800Xt.. :)
About a year ago, I listened to my co-worker extol the beauty of his TiVO, and heard enough about it to buy TiVo STOCKS. I've not regretted the decision. As for watching tv, I prefer to buy seasons on DVD of shows I enjoy. Still no commercials! :-)
I got a DVR with my new satelite TV service and... IT'S AWESOME! I record the 5 o'clock news(hour) and watch it in 18 minutes at 6 o'clock. Zipped through Survivor without seeing a single commericial. They have a button that instantaneously springs ahead 30 seconds. I push that until the show's back on. I tape basketball and zip through the time outs and free throws, halftime, etc. Awesome! I'll never watch live TV again. I hope I never see another commercial.
