TiVo: The Best Way to Digitally Record Your Favorite Programs

Having a digital video recorder, better known as a DVR, is starting to be a normal thing as time goes on. Many people have used VCR's to record programs for quite a few years. Although they are cheap, they tend to be a hassle. I personally love my TiVo! The things you can do with this DVR are amazing. You can set it up so that you never miss your favorite television shows or movies.

Features that are important:

Online scheduling - This is a major convenience factor! If you're away from home and have internet access, no need to worry about forgetting to set your TiVo to record something for you while you're gone. You can schedule it online through the TiVo website. Of course, if you have your TiVo hooked up to your phone line or network (must faster). You can still schedule online using phone line though. You just need to complete a few extra steps, but in the end is well worth it. With this feature, you really have NO need to worry about missing anything as long as you have internet access.

Season Pass - Have you ever gotten tired of having to remember to set your VCR each week for a program? With Season Pass, you don't have to worry about it. You set up a Season Pass for a certain program and it will record all episodes. This includes reruns if you'd like, or you can only record the first run of a show. With a busy life, it's nice to know once you set the TiVo for a season pass, you don't have to think about it again!

Quality level of recording - Since the TiVo only stores so much on its hard drive, you can adjust the level of recording. If you want more on the hard drive, obviously the quality will be less, but if you have the room to record at better quality, that's fine too. Each scheduled item (including setting up a season pass) you can choose the quality.
