TiVo - and why they are godlike

[HollywoodJewMoses]

anybody else on the board have a TiVo?

ive had mine for less than 24 hours and i think it is the greatest thing i have ever purchased

[Paper Boy]

did you get the one with the usb connection or the phone line connection? i had mine for a few years and i just moved and decided not to get a phone line for the house and now i can't use my tivo. i am so very unhappy because it is one of the greastest things ever.

cool, i haven't been able to watch 24 this year because i missed an episode because i couldn't tivo it.

I'm going to get it simply because I wind up missing too many shows I want to watch because I'm in class. Besides, you can get them for like 300-400 bucks now

[Paper Boy]

best investment ever. you'll never miss another tv program. you can watch them whenever you want. it's great

[Arpikarhu]

i have had tivo for over a year now and it is the greatest invention in the history of mankind. being able to pause tv while i piss is the essence of life itself!

[QuickStop]

i want tivo now

[LyricalGomez]

I ordered it this morning

I want it to be here now

[QuickStop]

heres my checklist of things to get in order:

1) a job
2) 27" flat screen Sony Wega tv
3) TiVo

Well I went to Best Buy today and what did I see? Tivo for 400 bucks with a 50 dollar mail-in rebate. So I wound up buying one, now I just have to cancel the Amazon one.
