One week with Tivo
Posted by jen February 24th, 2005 in Jeneral.Well, almost a week.
The only thing I’m sorry about is that I didn’t get it sooner, oh yeah, and that we didn’t get two of them, one for each TV. But that’s two things…
If someone out there with Tivo can tell me is it just FOX who has the record triggers in ads for their shows, that “Press thumbs up to record this program” thing? I don’t notice it on any other network, just FOX. That’s freaking awesome! Why don’t they all do it?
We tried “thumbing down” the dogs wanting to go outside every 42.5 minutes, it appears they were mysteriously unaffected and still had to make. Stinkin’ passive aggressive mutts.
We’re slowly getting used to the “peanut” shaped remote… we never can tell top from bottom. We smart.
Patton Oswalt says it best: I love my Tivo!
(BTW, My Tivo HAS started recording horse shows… but on the other hand it’s picked up I love Forensic Files on Court TV really fast! I get at least three shows recorded a day - yay! I love CSI sci-crime stuff.)

Hi Jen,
We’ve been been blessed with Tivo for over three years now…truly life-changing stuff!
I think the networks pay for the little record triggers, as do some advertisers. I know NBC used have them as well, but I don’t watch much network TV anymore.
digital cable + tivo = pure bliss
cheers,
Shari
P.S. Big rumor on Bay Area newscasts this morning is that Apple may buy Tivo. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better!
