So I recently purchased a TiVo, and must say that I am in love with it. They’re currently running a deal where you can get the introductory box for free if you sign up for 1 years worth of service, and it really seems like a decent deal. I went ahead and got the Series 2 so that I could record 2 channels at the same time, and that only ran me around $80 by the time I got the box and paid for a months worth of service.

Anyhow, I think most people that come across this blog are pretty familiar with TiVo’s and DVR’s in general, so I won’t really lay into the benefits of one, but I definitely recommend getting one based on my experience so far. Being able to pause a program if I want to go get some dinner going, or set-up season passes to record an entire season of a show (not to mention you can tell it to skip recording re-runs of shows), etc, is real nice.

If you do decide to get one, feel free to list me as a referrer ;) The email address my TiVo account is on is mwalters8[at]yahoo.com (you need that to indicate I referred you). Don’t bother trying to email me there though, I rarely if ever check the account other then to get emails from places like TiVo ;)
