| TiVo Series 2 | |

 Yesterday I finally joined the current TiVo revolution with an 80-hour Series 2 DVR! I've been a TiVo fan for years, chugging along with my giant Sony Series 1 model, but I've had my eye on the Series 2 for months and months, since the price kept coming down. Well, they recently kind of gave up on selling the boxes altogether, since now the TiVo box is free if you agree to the monthly service for at least a year. I was paying for that anyway, so why not get a super-cool new TiVo box for nothing? (Of course, the Series 3 HD box is just around the corner, but I don't plan on switching to HD until next year, I think.) I just hooked the new TiVo up yesterday, and I'm totally loving it. The setup process was amazingly smooth (much easier than several years ago with my original model), especially since I'm using my wireless network to connect, rather than the phone line! So, now my TiVo is a full-fledged net device, with all kinds of cool possibilities, such as listening to podcasts, viewing photo libraries, and online scheduling, which I just tried out today! I'm also enjoying new tweaks in the TiVo user interface, such as folder groupings of recorded shows and sleeker menu backgrounds. I'm totally re-impressed with TiVo all over again!
