They are awesome. I have it record a couple of things on Speedvision automatically, along with Modern Marvels, Tales of the gun, A Car is Reborn, Monster Garage, Airport and a couple other shows. I also periodically search it's title database for musicians and car brands I'm interested in.
I don't like watching more than 1 hour per day of Tv. I'm not a TV junkie. I can just barely sit through a movie. There was never anything good on when I wanted to watch. Everything good was at odd times or on evenings which I was not home. So I bought a Tivo with extra big hard drive, and it's records all this cool stuff for me that I can play whenever I want. If I get up earlier than necessary, I can watch a 30 minute show in 20 minutes. Or I can get through a hour show and a half hour show in about an hour in the evening! If I'm watching a race, I can hit the instant replay button again to hear a nice shift or to watch a rally car get airtime.
Someone calls, hit pause, either for live TV or for recorded stuff. In fact, I like to pause something I'm watching live for 5 minutes, just so I can skip annoying ads. Some ads are good, but the bowflex ad gets on my nerves. The music CD collection ads on TV annoy me too.
