Can you not do that with TiVo? What the hell, TiVo. I love my DVR.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I might use Comcast again, just to avoid the whole "oh, it's raining again" problem, if I could use a decent DVR. The one they gave me the last time I tried to "hook up" with them was a total piece of shit.
P.-C., what's your DVR? Do you use it with Comcast?

I've had issues with DVRs in the past, but my current one has lasted a while. I think when I first got one, I had to replace it twice within a month or two. But that's when they were really new.

Yep. Motorola DVR from Comcast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, that's lame.

I also find the constant bee-boop really annoying. But maybe TiVo users find it really endearing.

Not that I could ever figure out.
When I moved and switched to TiVo was when I realize just how ADD my TV watching had become.

I'm on a long call, and the caller, in South Carolina, wanted to start chatting about how right Glenn Beck is. Fortunately, he asked if I ever watched Beck, and he picked up the very cool tone of voice when I just "No."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I annoy myself enough by surfing the TV listings while I'm watching a show. I can't imagine surfing my saved programs. I'd never pay any attention to anything. But it's a feature I'd never considered.
I've never used any non-TiVo DVR software other than what shipped with my old VAIO, but I'm still irrationally attached to TiVo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Comcast were the ones who said when they installed the DVR for me "Oh, you've had Tivo? You'll like this so much better."
With a straight face and everything? Wow.
