Exactly. I blow through 1/2 hour sitcoms in 20 minutes. That is the number one benefit. The fact that finds and tapes tons of great shows that I wouldn't have known about is the icing on the cake.

I guess I just don't understand that philosophy. Football is an all-day event, from noon until 10-ish, with a special treat thrown in on Mondays and some Thursdays/Saturdays. If it's still nice outside here, golf is the only thing that bumps football to the side, and then only if it won't interfere with the Packer's game time.

Tivo, who tracks your Tivo usage, by the way, says that 70% of users do not skip commercials when watching recorded content. That's a little strange.
ChadTower:
Tivo does not track my content. None of my Tivos have called home in nearly two years.
BTW, who wants to watch commercials and halftime crap during a football game. There are other games to watch!

These are probably the same people who's VCRs are still flashing 12:00. It always astounds me how many people barely scratch the surface on the features that their gadgets provide.
