Oh the dusty silver thing under the TiVo box ;-)

Interestingly my old dear asked me to record some programme for her
last

comparison to setting up TiVo to record it's just to much effort :-D

But I know what you mean about the kids videos a few people have said
that to me, on the plus side you can stick a cheap VCR in their
bedrooms
and they're out of sight and amused ;-)
