Now that you are able to watch when you want to watch, have you freed up time for other things?

I never channel surfed. If I'm going to watch a show, I don't want to miss any of the content. Same goes for books; I'll read one fiction work at a time, and I have a hard time "giving up" on a book.
I got one of the first Series2 TiVo units, so it's been about 10 years that I've had a DVR. It didn't change how much television I watch; instead, it ensures that I'm not watching crap (i.e., the best thing that happens to be on at the time I want to watch it).
