I've had 2 tivos for about 2 years now ... and if I could offer 1 piece of advice it would be to "pad" (add recording time to the end of each show) whenever possible. It sucks to sit down to watch Friends or whatever and find that the last part of the show is cut off because the network ran over the scheduled time.
Padding time to the end of the show has a down side. If a show is scheduled for 8 to 8:30 and you pad on 1 minute extra, TiVo will not record any show on from 8:30 to 9. I only pad the shows that historically run over (Raymond, Survivor, etc.) TiVo could definitely improve this feature.
