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?
