Anybody tried TiVo?
Actually I'm the least likely to do this as I only have 28.8 modem service and TV via antenna, no DVD, but I just bought a widescreen Sony Wega HDTV and TiVo. Gotta say I love the aspect of not being a slave to real time. The ability to pause any TV show and answer the phone or the call of nature (do I sense impending prostate problems here?) is wicked cool. Now I can easily snarf up all those Nova broadcasts like the one on GRBs and stack em up to watch. Much, much less hassle than a VCR.
