We got Tivo. We are late comers to the DVR revolution. We got Tivo this past week.
Aunt Carrie swears by it. When I asked my friends at work about it, they were passionate about the benefits of it. They are True Believers.
It was marketed to us by the MOPS organization; marketed as a tool for managing what our kids watch on TV. We are tired of our VCR eating tapes, so we are switching to a digital video recorder that captures the TV shows and saved them electronically, no tapes.
It's pretty cool because you can sign up for your favorite shows and it'll record them automatically, even if the shows are preempted by stupid basketball like they are every other day in the winter in Indiana.
It's the next generation of VCR. Very cool.

Are you true believers yet?
ReplyDeleteIt's never happened to me on anything that mattered, but the only complaint I've heard from DVR users is that the recording cuts off before the end of a show...like the final three seconds of a cliff hanger series runs into the next time slot and the DVR cuts off at the end of the scheduled program. To avoid this, program your DVR to record 1 minute past the scheduled time slot on those type of shows.
Otherwise, have fun...ya gotta love it!
