Tivo: Bill’s new toy

You’d think that after 20 years of having a VCR, it would be enough. But no, not really, and anyway new toys are so cool, so I got myself a TiVo yesterday. So after some mild but annoying problems setting up the machine–hello! have we heard of usability testing?–I’ve got it working and will never have to miss another episode of Enterprise again! Woohoo!

Update: Alright! I used Tivo to record three shows while I was out seeing Heist and it worked just fine. Although apparently UltimateTV has a very useful button on its remote that mine doesn’t–skip ahead 30 seconds. Oh well.
