I've been wanting TiVo for well over a year now but the problem was that I didn't know anyone personally that had TiVo who could answer specifics regarding what it could and could not do. That all changed Friday when one of my co-workers (thanks Scott!) filled me in on what a "life change" it has been for him. So, I did some research last night at the TiVo website and found out they have a $100 rebate special going on. I took that as an omen and we headed once again to our favorite adult candy store, Best Buy to take the plunge.

Rob & I just finished the simple hookup and TiVo is now in the process of downloading and updating itself with the current TV listings (a process that takes about 6 hours the first time). Even though we can't record anything until it finishes, we are able to replay live TV and that is way cool!

We also purchased a Linksys wireless USB network adaptor (Linksys rules!) to connect TiVo to our network. The network setup was a snap and this will allow us to play MP3 music and view photos from our PCs on the TV. I can't wait to test that out!
