birdstrike,

I was in the same boat as you, not thinking I would make any use of the scheduled recording capability. I have never taped a TV show in my life.

I think it's one of those things you have to live with to appreciate. Especially in TiVo's case, it's not so much the scheduled recordings as the season passes, TiVo's suggestions, showcases, and the like. Get one. I promise you will be glad you did.

Have you noticed how fanatical TiVo owners are? A client just told me a joke: What's the worst place to be at a party? Between a TiVo owner and a wall.

True.
