I had the Bandits championship win DVR'ed at my Mom's cuz I was there at the time, but I never found the time to transfer it to DVD and now it's been deleted ><

TiVo FTW

TWC gave me a DVR I didn't ask for and they started charging me for it. So I told them I didn't want the thing because I have TiVo's...so they said they'd stop charging me for the DVR, but I insisted they come and remove it from my house.

My TiVo's can do tricks that would make lesser DVR's blush.

Yeah, TiVo is a DVR... you can pay a monthly fee (I think $12) or you can buy a lifetime subscription for $300

It does more than just record shows though...It can:

- transfer shows between tivo's
- stop watching a show in 1 room and resume it in another
- transfer shows to computers for re-encoding to anything (iPod, PSP, whatever)
- burn shows to DVD
- listen to MP3's from any computer in the house on my stereo / TV
- browse the internet (play youtube videos etc.)
- display pictures or video stored on any computer of my house
- buy or rent movies from Amazon or Blockbuster as digital downloads (using only the tivo remote)
- record via season pass or wishlist with tons of options (ex: it records all Sabres and Bills programming for me via a keyword wishlist)
- Change the recording schedule remotely over the internet
- it has a ranking system and learns what you like and it will start automatically recording suggestions for you
- It has uber parental controls but I haven't played much with them yet

the list goes on....I've been a tivo owner for something like 7 years (I have 2 now and I've owned 4 total)...I love the dang things.

I've been told that the 'lifetime subscription' only mean the lifetime of the box, not the person, so if you upgrade your Tivo or it breaks, you're out $$.

Is that true from your experience?
