better than a VCR it records 2 shows at once, and you can start
watching a show while its still recording.

And it can hold a couple hundred hours of shows, which are all listed

Time Warner software lets me arrange that 'index' by the name of the
shows, or by the date recorded.

We got the TW version several years ago when it was introduced as a 6

But I wouldn't go without *it now for all the tea in China. * It is
rare that we get stuck watching live TV-- and I miss being able to
jump through commercials when we do.



I enabled SKIP on my tivo, so i can skip forward and backward thru
commercials. I rarely watch live tv, I *primetime has 17 minutes of
commercials so i start watching survivor 15 minutes late and catch
up by the end.

connect your tivo to the internet and it does netflix and other
streaming

Inertia will probably keep me from pulling the trigger-- but the
streaming ability makes Tivo a real temptation again.

Has Tivo got the ability to send things to another box? * *TW just
introduced the ability to record on one DVR and watch on another in
the same house. * * *We have 3 DVR's - so we could effectively record
6 things at the same time and watch them on any box later. [sounds
crazy--- but during sweeps week the 4 networks pit their best against
the competition's best-- so 4 at once might come in handy]

Jim

yeah you match the account code between the 2 boxes and bam you have 4
tuners networked
