It is this FREE digital video recorder where you have to pay a monthly fee for a virtual TV GUIDE. ATI all in wonder card for your PC will do the same and the "TV Guide" is free.

TiVo systems function similarly to VCRs, but use non-removable hard disk storage, and contain much more sophisticated software to record programs—not only those the user specifically requests, but also other material the user is likely to be interested in. Additionally, programs being watched "live" can be paused or "rewound" to repeat a sequence just watched. Unlike traditional tape-based recorders, a TiVo DVR can record a new program while playing any previously-recorded program, including the start of the recording in progress.

It is a video recording device that records tv shows to a hard drive, kind of like a tapeless VCR. TIVO is a brand name of the most popular device, but u can get a DVR (digital video recorder) from your satellite or cable company that costs less per month than the TIVO charge of 9.99 a month.

Tivo is short for the word Tivondoekike. It's an old Ugandan word meaning...(my butt is swollen from the fall I took trying to ride my fathers Water Buffalo)
