IMO you can only spend so much money and time to hook up so many thingys to a TV.
Confessions of a TiVo Junkie
At first, just the idea of another video gizmo was exasperating to me. Our living-room console was already filled with nearly every entertainment appliance you could imagine: TV, VCR, DVD player, satellite set-top box, and a receiver to connect everything. And nobody in my house was even ever home to watch anything! When we were around, the only person who could figure out the entertainment system was Jeff. (As the founder and chairman of his own dotcom, he's pretty crafty when it comes to electronics.) But if somebody else had mistakenly pressed the wrong button or used the wrong remote, forget about it, blue screen. We have thousands of dollars' worth of audio-video equipment, and more often than not, it was impossible just to get the TV to work. Even my other housemate, Tim, who is the CTO at the dotcom, could never make heads or tails of the system. Only Jeff had the special mojo required to get a picture. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I live in a dysfunctional home.

Once you've used a TiVo you can never go back to regular TV. |
