I have Dish Network with a PVR (Personal video recorder) receiver. It works just like TiVo I guess.
Basically, I select all movies and shows that I want to record. The hard drive will hold 40 hours or something like that of TV. When I get around to watching the show I want, there is a listing of all the shows that I have recorded. It is really easy to use and very convenient. Also, there is a search function in case you miss something. It will search up to 8 days in advance by show title or by words in the description of the show.
I will never downgrade from this. It lets me watch all of the shows that I never had time for before. Instead of trying to find something to watch at 11 PM when I usually have time to watch TV, I can now just pick something that I recorded and WANTED to watch.
The other great feature is the fact that it is constantly recording. If the phone rings, you can pause live TV. You can also replay something if you miss it, like sports or a mumbled word by an actor.
