As a new parent, we found TiVo let us catch our favorite shows when we wanted. If the show started at 8 PM and the little went to sleep at 8:20, we would just start it at the beginning and catch up by blasting through the commercials. Wait till your daughter grows up, B. It's great for grabbing a bunch of Kids' shows. I try to limit her TV intake (she prefers that I read her a book) but some limited quality shows are fine and probably even good for her (in moderation, of course). My wife loves to set up Season Passes for shows. I like seeing the programs that TiVo randomly records once it "learns" what we like. It's more the technology that intrigues me rather than the shows it records.
I was just busting on you Greg, believe me I wish I could say I wasn't much of a TV guy... I always have that damn thing on, our daughter is already trying to watch it as much as she can... Its funny you mention recording shows because of the kids, my wife thought was already mentioning that. I'm starting to think that just cancelling cable would be the better solution, I might actually get something done every once in a while that way...
