Or the simple "D'oh! I Forgot to set the Tivo to record that!" problem would be solved.


Ah, but you overlook the real "magic" of TiVo. You don't have to remember to tell TiVo to record things, because it already "knows" the kind of programming you like and will record it "on spec" so to speak without your even asking.

My TiVo constantly records things I wasn't aware of, and it is rare indeed that it chooses something I'm not interested in.
