Date: 2008-05-06 10:26 pm (UTC)I was one of the first people in the UK to get on to the hard disk recording band wagon. The first week that Tivo was released in the UK I got hold of one...
Tivo has an interesting feature where it learns what you're watching (because it knows which channels you choose to watch and what you ask it to record), so it records things it thinks you might like based on what you have watched in the past... then there is a "TiVo suggests.." option on the menu which has stuff in it has recorded that you might want to try watching.
It was a really really good feature actually. I suspect if I had TiVo today, what with the number of channels there are now - it'd trap me with so many cool things I didn't know where on TV that all I'd do would be watching television.
