Anyone out there tried tivo yet? I have to say its bit intimidating but

once you master it, its insane and addictive!! I cannot get enough of

it and highly recommend!! (It even lets you pause live tv so if the

phone rings (or oyu have to pee) just hit pause do your thing, come

back and hit play. Voila - you are back in it!) And.. no vhs tapes !

I've had a digital video recorder (DVR) for a couple of years now. It's

the only way to go. (TIVO is a brand name for this technology). And

there are other brands available at any electronics store. My sat

company rents me one for next to nothing.

I can watch a hour TV show in about 35 minutes. I wish the commercial

skip function worked. But I just use the FF button. It's great for late

night ball games.

Hi, Yustr,

I live in Brazil and we don't have TiVo here...

So, question is: Is it possible to use a DVR with regular cable? I mean,
I'll have to program the DVR, right? To start and stop recording. How do I
change channels on the cable box? Please, clarify. I'd love to have one of
those.

Flavio

As far as I know it can be done with just about any source. Recording to

the PC is nice because the video can be more easily managed and it's

FREE.
