TiVo

What can I say about TiVo that hasn't already been said? Ask any TiVo aficionado about why they like it and invariably the phrase "it will change your LIFE!" will gush forth. I'm right there with 'em on that assessment, but I do have one thing to add that I've never heard anyone else mention:

I watch LESS TV now that I have TiVo.

Yep, you heard me right. I used to sit in front of the tube and surf channels in search of something worthwhile, and even when I did find something that didn't suck, I was forced to sit through all the commercials. With TiVo, I have more stuff saved up than I'll ever have time to watch, and I can skip all those pesky ads.

Now, I watch an episode of The Daily Show in ~20 minutes. No more watching crap that I don't like, and more time to do other stuff away from the TV.
