OK ... What makes TiVo so great is that it just works. You don't need to
reboot it, you don't need to remember that if you choose such-and-such
an option that it bombs out etc. It behaves like a domestic piece of kit
in the same way that a VCR does - unlike a PC running showshifter ...
Basically you don't have to make any allowances for it.
