TiVo is your friend, DVR is your child.

TiVo has got to be one of the best inventions of the 21st century (only behind anything Steve Jobs ever created).  It allowed us to have a social life and still be able to catch up with your favorite TV shows.  Nothing made me happier than a night of getting shitfaced and coming home to refreshed inbox of my favorite viewing habits.  I have to admit between 2004-06, I could shamelessly admit that TiVo was my best friend on the planet.  I know I don't speak alone when I say that.  Yes, it sounds like the plot of a bad sci-fi movie where man befriends machine and then things go haywire.  It was great to come home after an awful day to find your favorite sitcoms recorded and then a few extra suggested episodes of a show you have never seen.  That's how I got into Arrested Development.  I swear TiVo was that friend that bent over backwards to make you happy.

Then things went to shit.  Direct TV stopped carrying TiVo and stuck me with just a regular old DVR.  I quickly came to realize that DRV was the stupid child that you have to tell it everything to do that always ends up disappointing you.

I pray daily that one day Direct TV will provide TiVo again.  Sweet Jesus, are you listening?
