No TIVO, but I've got a DVR (Digital Video Recorder), and it is AWESOME.
You don't miss your favorite shows and you can fast forward through commercials. One of the greatest inventions of all time, imo. |

| They are essentially the same thing but I think Tivo is trademarked and allows you to enter codes to record shows, where a DVR needs input from your provider with a 'guide' that it can pull show listings from. |

| TiVo is a brand of DVR, just like Kleenex is a brand of facial tissue, FTW. |

| If I had to go back to watching commercials and watching everything at the designated time I would probably just quit watching non sports TV. |

DVR has changed my life. Not many things I can honestly say that about, and it's kind of sad that this made that short list, but it's true. I watch shows whenever I want now - with most shows I don't even know when they air, I just watch them when they appear on my list of recorded programs. And I skip commercials of course. On the weekends I like to scroll through the movie channels, see what weird shit is playing at 3 am, and record anything halfway interesting for later viewing. I've seen a lot of old, obscure horror movies that way. Plus my favorite feature, and the simplest one: pause or rewind live TV at any point. No more conversations or emergency bathroom breaks covering up part of the show. No more "what did that guy just say?"
I remember pre-DVR TV viewing, and it makes me grind my teeth. These things are awesome. |

No idea how DVR/TIVO compares with Sky Plus but no idea how I lived without it.
Tape 2 channels at once. Pause live TV. Fas forward and, my fave, come in late and start watching a programme from the start - even though it hasn't finished yet!
Awesome. |

Nice, the last 2 posts got me pumped about getting it. TY.
Ill be the same way Dale. I love TV and its gonna be great to watch everything whenever i want. The sports should be the best though. Being able to pause and rewind live games will make it so much better. |

I just blew my load all over my TV.
This is the greatest thing ever ! ! ! ! I will never miss anything ever again, and can watch anything shitty on fast forward. The best part is that i can watch a recorded show and still channel surf on live TV.
Anyone that doesnt have one, needs to get one ASAP.
So sick ! ! ! ! |

this thread has made me realize that I also need/want a DVR.
Couple of questions:
what brand/features should I be looking for?
What price range is standard? |

I rent mine from the cable comapny.
Seriously, its the best thing ever if you want to watch everything thats on and be able to skip through the boring parts.
I couldnt be happier with it unless it had a slot to stick my cock in. |
