Tivocommunity is good for tips. One of the things you can do now is start going through the guide and marking things you like with the thumbs up. I would put three thumb downs right away on any paid programming type or home shopping stuff. Also, make sure you set the tivo so that it doesn't record channels that you don't recieve, such as ppv type channels.
I loved my tivo during the NFL season, since I had NFL sunday ticket and could tape a couple games to watch if one was on at the same time as the other I wanted to watch that week. Or just go do something on sunday instead of watching football and then watch the games at night.
Current things I have on my season pass list:
The apprentice
X Files - got my wife to start watching so we are watching them in order.
Sex in the City (for my wife)
American Idol (for my wife)
Bunch of different things on the history channel
World Poker Tour
The Wonder Years (in hopes that they start showing them again my tivo will start recording it. They used to show on ABC Family channel or something like that)
Frontline
Nova
I could go on... I think I have 30 season passes.
Really cool things you can do - make wishlists. I did this so if there is ever a show on about the Arizona Cardinals like an old game replay, its taped. Or anything with the actor Steve McQueen, its taped. Stuff like that.
