The sheer joy of TiVo

For John's birthday, I got him TiVo. In case you don't know, it's like a computer for your TV. It records shows for you, but unlike a VCR you don't have to tell it what date and time to start and stop recording; it finds that information itself. And it will tape each and every episode for you. It will also record shows that it thinks you might like. PLUS, it lets you pause, fast forward, and rewind live TV. So when nature calls (or the pizza guy is at the door), you don't have to miss those crucial moments of Sex and the City... or whatever you watch.

What it means for John and me is that there's always something good on TV. We don't watch a lot ourselves but when we do have a moment to relax, it's nice to spend it with TiVo.
