Remember those things called “video cassettes?” Well, they’re ancient technology. Rewinding? Image degradation? Who needs that crap. Even DVD recorders are very limited - especially if the video you want to record goes over a certain amount of time (and god forbid you walk in front of the recorder, then your whole DVD is rendered useless).

It’s for all of those reasons that I can’t live without Tivo. Sure, I could still use a VCR, DVD recorder, or build a Linux-based DVR, but TiVo is just so much better with its end-user experience than any other device I’ve used: it’s simple to set up and easy to use. I gladly paid full price for my TiVo system, but had I known about this promotion I would’ve saved myself $200, but I’m not disappointed: TiVo really is that good.
