Travis’s TiVo Arrives in Canada
Last week I mentioned that the TiVo was coming to Canada, sort of. Travis subsequently wrote about how he didn’t understand why I wasn’t drinking the TiVo koolaid. Yesterday his TiVo arrived, and he writes about the experience of setting it up north of the border:
Once it was up to date, I fell in love with it all over again. First of all, I used the built-in TV Guide, and discovered The Simpsons was on a channel that I didn’t know it was on at 7:00. Then, I was disappointed that I was going to have to make dinner and would miss part of it, when I remembered that I could pause live TV.
Ultimately, I don’t think I’m man enough for a TiVo. I’m unwilling to expend the time and money to set it up. I know, but I’m lazy that way. And I want to watch less TV, which seems unlikely with a smart box like that around. Instead, I’ll probably just get a dumb DVD recorder, which just sits there like roadkill until I tell it to do something.
