Can someone explain Tivo to me in small words? Like, how much it costs--isn't there an ongoing charge or something? And what if you want to watch the show on some other TV--is that possible? And...do I want to spend my money on this gadget?
eh?,

Once the show is recorded on the TiVo's memory, that tv is wher eyou watch it *unless* you upload it to your computer then you can watch it there.
You can also burn it to DVD at that point and watch it anywhere.
The advantages of TiVo are hard to value until you've had one, I think. The 8 second rewind button (you hit it, and the show jumps instantly back 8 seconds.) The pause button - hit it and the show pauses - even if you're watching live tv. YOu can stay paused on live tv for up to half an hour. Also, telling it to record your shows even when you have no idea when the show is on.
If you don't *have* TiVo, you might not need it. But once you have it you will wonder why you ever watched tv without it.
