Why TiVo Owners Can’t Shut Up
Why TiVo Owners Can’t Shut Up.
“You come home every night and think `What did TiVo do today?’ It’s like a pet.”
Or, as all my friends say, TiVo is like my boyfriend. Probably the reason I’m so hopelessly single.
Still, the article nails me pretty good. But they left out all the TiVo-branded crap I own: the t-shirts, hat, window decals, stuffed animal… I still need to order the beach towel and metal lunchbox.
TiVo is a great idea – just the hardware is crap.
I’m on my second Hughes Direct TiVo recorder (first one lasted 6 months and totally died — the second lasted almost 2 months).
Problem is you can’t watch anything live or anythinh you have recorded. So your TV is dead.
Don’t waste your money on Hughes Direct TiVo – Their hardware platform is junk.
Sorry
