Ok, so one night about…oh, nine months ago, I had a very long and involved discussion with Bryan (while eating at an In-n-Out Burger) about why I thought TiVo was a waste of time. And now we have one. Heh. Guess he convinced me.
Now we’re the proud owners of the Samsung SIR-S4120R, which is a DirectTV unit. So we’re able to (as of this coming Friday) watch a previously recorded show, while recording two shows simultaneously. It’s cool. :D Plus there’s a $30 rebate from Samsung and a $50 rebate from TiVo. Not to mention that TiVo service through our existing DirectTV account is only $4.99/month. w00t!
All this is good because, well, I fell asleep before 24 even started last night.

I always thought the value of Tivo was self-evident from the beginning:namely, it stops the TV schedule from ruling yours and makes things go the other way around. In fact, if there’s one thing that’d get me back into TV, Tivo is probably it. Well, that and a better job so I wouldn’t mind spending money on Tivo every month.
