For those that work odd hours and can't manage to program a VCR -- TIVO is
well worth the price and monthly fee.
The interface is very well done and easy to use.
Cable companies are now offering a similiar device (for a monthly fee)

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Yes, you have to have a subscription. Got my wife one for her birthday. I
was rather surprised at this too. I was told that originally, no
subscription was required but they have them rigged now so no
subscription,
no function. I haven't experimented with it to find out what, if any,
functionality it has on it's own.

Tivo has to be hooked to the phone to record anything?
No wonder I am still using a VCR...

I thought TVio was just a box with lots of memory? You have to pay
monthly for it too? My wife wants one for xmas(yes, its almost here).
