John my wife's favorite feature and one that keep's me out of trouble is the season pass. Example my wife like's Army Wife's on Lifetime. I tell tivo to record all new episodes of the show and then I don't have to worry about if I miss recording the show it just does it. Now I do check my to do list of recording items at least every two weeks to make sure all is ok. As cable channels sometimes do not report if an episode is a rerun or not so The Monk marathon's can fill your hard drive up if you don't what out.:)
