I have to agree fully with what you have said, since we got our TiVo a
couple of months ago we have not looked back, however when friends
visit
and ask what is the new box ? I have only found one who remotely knew
what it was and even then they just assumed it was a video recorder
without tapes (I tell a lie another list member has been round and he
knows what it is). They could not believe you could start watching a
program that had not yet finished.

I just need to get my lot off it long enough to add the extra drive ;-)
Just a bit worried in case is mess up the hack which might leave us
with
no TiVo ;-( my life would not be worth living :-((
