Some helpful hints....
Always record sporting events at High or Best. Otherwise the encoding artifacts will be toooooo much.
Season passes are awesome. I make season passes for shows that I like to watch every now and then and put them at the bottom of the priority list.
If you can, use your home network to synch. No more tying up the phone, MUCH faster (especially when updating software!) plus you are one step closer to the Home Media Option. Provided you have a Series 2 (which you probably do) all you need is a supported USB->Ethernet adapter, and you're all set!
If you are somewhat tech savvy and interested in doing so, it's very easy to add more capacity to your Tivo. Check out the Hinsdale How-To that you can find at tivocommunity.com for more info.
Finally, use the damn thing! I can't live without my tivo. At friends houses, I find myself reaching for the remote to hit replay... in fact, during a football game I grabbed his vaguely tivo-shaped remote and punched where the replay button should be, only to have it change the channel. Don't do that.
