John I use Tivo because I don't want to think about recording Tv.
I have had VCR's since 1973.U-matic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Then a Betamax since 1975.Betamax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I saw the first Tivo's at the CES show.

Tivo is about keeping my wife happy at the basic level. She loves the Tivo 
never doubt about getting Tivo in her book.
She doubts many of my gadget's but not Tivo. Pausing Live TV priceless. Season 
passes for all her shows could not do with out. Never miss a episode.

Now I like being able to download shows off Tivo to watch on my iPhone.
I had being using Toast to do the downloading of the TV shows but with the 
latest release they have had problems with their software on Snow Leopard so I 
use iTivo and it works great.

I also use PyTivo to put video files on my tivo's

rip a Dvd and then upload to the Tivo to playback later.
I can also move video across my network to my father in laws Tivo as they live 
next door. No longer having to record shows on VHS for them as he never figured 
out how to 
use a VHS recorder. An All the shows he likes are season passes on my old TV 
for them to watch.
