My TV viewing has changed over the past 15 years. In 1997 I bought a VCR that had VCR+ and a spine labeling system that allowed one to wave the tape in front of the VCR and it would tell you what was on the tape. That alone was a major changer for me because I always found it difficult to remember to record shows I wanted to watch.
When I got my first Tivo back in 2002 it made another leap for me. I was able to finally watch TV that I wanted to when I wanted.
I do not like regular DVR offerings as there is no ability for the Tivo search and record function by keyword is exceptional. Since we travel, I like to populate keywords like Singapore, Spain, and Travel. Tivo finds those programs and records them for me. Interested in a director? I put in Martin Scorcese and all his movies are recorded and also any time he appears on a talk show or guest appearance.
Tivo also makes suggestions based on the viewing and recording. So there are always new programs that I'm finding I like based on the previous ones I watched.
