Mine is so I can fast forward through awful commercials and political ads.

Yes we were given one last year as a gift. We just signed up again. Our main purpose is too have a movie or other show that my husband and I can watch together. We don't watch much TV as he is a workaholic. So when we do have time to snuggle and catch a movie he has a better selection to choose from.

TVO is one of the options that came with the pkg. We enjoy all the nature shows and British shows like Heartbeat and Touch of Frost . The absence of commercials is nice but unless it's taped, we don't get a bathroom break.
edit: I thought you meant TVOntario or PBS(my mistake)

I love it. I fast forward through commercials and record shows and movies to watch at my convenience. I also pause something I am watching live to go to the bathroom or answer the phone, etc.

I actually have two-One in the living room and one in my bedroom. I have them so I can watch shows at my convenience. The commercials thing is a big plus also. Don't know how I would get along without it now. Mine is offered through my cable service.

I watch very little television and usually fall asleep if I try. But we did buy a dvd recorder and the hubby has never been able to figure out how to hook it up with the tv.cable box. and home stereo surround sound system .So never used it yet.

It came with the Dish Network. Mostly we use it to "tape" The Rachael Ray Show when my nephew's girlfriend, Evette Rios, is on to do decorating or craft segments.

Oh I love Tivo. It is absolutely wonderful. I can record shows while I am sleeping and watch them whenever I want.

I love it. I'm able to record shows I miss and if I miss something being said, I just rewind it and listen again. It's great!
