It's ironic that you talk about how great TiVos are compared to generic DVRs. I totally agree, but I seem to read on the web constantly about how there's no difference.
For those of us who use a TiVo - we understand the difference, loud and clear!

The DIFFERENCE for those of us who DON'T use a Tivo is this:
We paid NOTHING up front to get our DVR.
We pay $4/month LESS for subscription.
We get in-home repair or replacement at no extra charge if our DVR is faulty.
We get tons of free on-demand shows from the tuner part of the DVR.
We can request and get the latest model at no extra cost when it comes out.
We get 40 hours of HD recording, plus record 2 channels at once, excellent slow-motion, plus 30-second skip which is good enough for most of us.

+1 for Star Trek reference (even though it's the one everybody knows ;-).

Hello, Dan,
I really enjoyed reading your Gadget Freak tonight.
I do have a question though: why is this the last time you're writing this Blog? are you living voluntarily, or is there something else happening?????
Thank you for the StarTrek similarities,BTW, it made me smile remembering my most favorite show in the whole history of the world!
