not being able to pause the action to go take a leak

I know that this is sacrilege in some ways, but, in some ways, I wish TiVo hadn't allowed you to pause. I have barely watched a TV program at home all the way through with the wife since we've had a TiVo and it's driving me nuts.

She has to pause it every fifteen seconds to make some comment about something. Occasionally it's relevant, but even in those cases it can wait until the end. Most of the time it's her asking some question that hasn't been answered in the show yet. Even the smallest vaguely non-linear thing confuses her to the point where she has to pause and ask what's just happened instead of waiting three seconds to see if they tell her.

So one of the major reasons I like to see a movie in a theater is so that I can watch something from start to finish without pausing. I know that's absurd, but it's so relaxing to not constantly be jarred in and out of my suspension of disbelief.
