Slashdot Mirror
Rabid TiVo Fanaticism
surfacearea writes "The New York Times [free reg] is running an article that, without sounding like over-the-top blatant product placement discusses the reasons why TiVo owners are at times frighteningly fanatical. Personally, I won't bother to find out first hand until they slap a recordable DVD drive in there."
The RIAA can take my TiVo from my cold, dead hands!
Thanks to google, here is a URL that doesn't require registration to read. Enjoy!
You know, it took you longer to find that site through google than it would have if you'd just made up a fake name for registration.

Is this in reference to you> or the Tivo?
Why slashdot? Why not?
until it turns into a combo tv/dvd player/cd recorder/shaving kit/cb radio/sweater vest, i'm not buying one!
Personally, I won't bother to find out first hand until they slap a recordable DVD drive in there." Why stop at a recordable DVD drive? I am holding out for an integrated Bluetooth connectivity, PS2, coffee-maker, GPS and magic 8-ball. I also want it to be solar powered and to be totally waterproof at depths of up to 5000 meters. It shoud also cost less than $20 and run Debian. These are the reasonable consumer demands of me, Joe Slashdot.

They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...
Tivo sucks all my time. I used to watch 1-2 hrs TV a week; now (because Tivo catches all the stuff I want to watch) I watch 2-3 hours a day .
Good God. I used to have something resembling a life.
