While
that's a great feature.  I like the ability of Tivo to pick up shows that you like, based on your own tastes that it "learns".  Almost on a weekly basis it captures some movie that I have never seen or saw many years ago.  And then I will watch it that night, or watch bits of it over a week when I have time.  Plus I dont have to rush home to watch something on TV, Tivo saves it for me.

A
"Tivo" should be in every TV.  But most people just dont get it.

  Nope, not yet.  When (and if)
  that happens, the advertising companies and networks are going to scream   bloody murder.
  However, you can turn on a program,
  wait 10 minutes, and then watch the entire thing fast-forwarding thru all   commercials.  Super slick.  by far the coolest toy I have ever   owned...  even though I opted not to purchase the stripped card and   adapter.

    Angelina:
    Do you know if your can setup your TIVO box so     that it can automatically ignore
    commercials when recording?  If, so     how do you do that?
    Thanks, Ken
