Around the holiday time, my company was generous enough to give all of its employees a $100 gift card to Amazon. I haven't spent mine yet. I don't know what to get. I want to use it to get something that I want rather than something that I need.
There are ...

Owning a Tivo is practically a religious experience. I currently own three Tivos and can't imagine life without them. I've written about Tivo quite a bit. Those that say that their generic cable-company supplied DVR is just as good as a Tivo just haven't been enlightened and don't know what ...

I upgraded my Tivo. I bought a 1TB hard drive. The Series 3 comes with a 250 GB hard drive that can hold 32 hours of HD. Verizon is about to add another 27 HD channels and are expected to add another 20 or so by the end of the ...

If you registered your TiVo with Amazon Unboxed video download service when they were offering the $15 credit, that credit is due to expire at the end of this month.
I can't say I'm totally impressed with the service thus far (my only complaint is video quality), but it's not terrible ...

Something is wrong with my baby. No...not my children...my other baby: my TiVo Series 3. I got the Series 3 back in June when they were offering a $200 rebate. The issue that is causing me to exchange it started 2 days after I got it. Every 10 - 14 ...

My Verizon/Motorola HD-DVR holds eighteen hours, forty-five minutes of HD content. How do I know this? I found out the hard way.
Last night, I came back from playing poker around 1am (I came out $40 ahead) and wanted to watch some TV before I went to bed. I hit the ...

I had Verizon FiOS Internet TV and Internet installed about 5 months ago and I've been mostly happy ever since. I have 3 TVs, 2 of which have TiVos connected to the Verizon supplied cable box. For those of you that don't have TiVo, when you connect a TiVo to ...

Last night, I scheduled my Verizon supplied Motorola HD-DVR to tape the 2-hour premiere episode of Daybreak. It started at 9. I sat down at about 9:45 to start watching it and noticed that the red recording light was not on.
I pushed the "List" button on the remote to get ...

Only one problem...I can't afford it.
I'm so very upset. It costs $799. I'm not at all surprised by the price. But since it was never official (until today), I always held out hope that it'd be around $399 instead of $799. Wishful thinking on my part. I'm hoping that the ...

I have been a Tivo owner since November 2002. Tivo is probably the most useful product I have ever bought. However, Tivo (the company) is causing me a lot of stress.
Almost two years ago, Tivo announced plans to produce a new dual tuner product that can record HD programming. At ...
