Hi Dravid! I have so much stuff recorded that if I don't get home right away and start watching, the new shows will be deleted before I can see them. I hope I can get caught up so that I can talk to you in chat about my Beloved Tivo!!!! :)

LOL Rabbit, but too late! That little b*stard machine has me firmly in its grip! (I love Charlie's Angels)

Rabbit: you don't know Tivo!!! It can control your life ... all you have to do is hint to it that you might like something and it will fill itself with tons of programs that you may very well like ... until it's full ...

I'm sensing we may need an intervention.

As Weiner would say, <334833> the intervention! I need to train it a little bit more. Right now my Tivo thinks I like cop documentaries and car wrecks & chases.

Speaking of it getting full- we were told you run the risk of having it freeze and that they need to be replaced when that happens. Has anyone heard of that?

I am LOL about this because I find myself recording things I never even thought about before- like Dharma and Greg every day at 6:00...

Dra- for now I think we are cool but we might move our cable box out here and then I'll be wailing for Dra again! We are able to watch TV, Replay, and VCR all separately now.

I just received a message on my Tivo informing me that the lifetime service subscription will be going up to $299 effective March 3, 2003! Before then it is still $249 so if you don't already have a lifetime subscription, I suggest you consider changing soon.

My brother keeps telling me I should get TiVo. This may sound like a stupid question, but you still have to pay for regular cable or satellite service through a traditional provider, right?

I've heard that there's a monthly subscription service of around $15/mo. Also, that TiVO will automatically record things on its own (I've heard several "my TiVO thinks I'm gay" stories).

The thing I'm most interested in is what happens to the programs once they have been recorded? Can you download them to your computer and burn them onto a DVD? I like to record shows in the event I want to ever see them again and having them on DVD would be ideal.
