There goes the excuse that you need to make it home in time to catch Oprah, or Maury Polvic. Cripes! Yeah, now there’s TiVo. Thanks, I guess. TiVo is one of the many popular brands of digital video recorder, or DVR’s in the United States. This device allows it’s users to capture a television program by having it recorded onto an internal hard disk, where it can then be stored and viewed at a later time. Get this, not only does TiVo digitally record the shows you want, it also automatically records programs that the viewer is likely to be interested in. Nope, doesn’t stop there, it also includes a feature called “trick play,” which allows the viewer to stop, rewind, replay or pause a live television broadcast. Also, more recent models of the TiVo can connect to your local area network, allowing the Tivo to download information and even movies from the Internet. Viewers can literally pick and choose what they want to see, and when they want to see it without having to be home at a certain time, or have to record a certain show. This revolutionizes television, creating more ways for people to watch their favorite programs. Instead of having to miss ABC’s Primetime, you can now record it while watching American Idol. Lucky us, we broadcasters now have more ways in which our viewers can access our shows because they have the option of seeing everything rather than just picking and choosing their specific programs.
