Free up time with TiVo
1 comment so far
Try totaling the amount of time you spend watching TV each week. It may surprise you – it surprised me. After I thought about it, I realized a lot of the time I spent in front of the TV wasn’t spent watching shows I actually liked.
I really only care about three shows: The Office, 30 Rock and Studio 60. That brings my, “I actually want to watch these TV shows” total to two hours per week.
Per WEEK.
Then why am I (sometimes – more often than I’d like) spending two or three hours a day watching TV? Talk about a waste of time! Not only am I watching more TV than I thought, but I’m watching shows I don’t even care about.
Enter TiVo.
You can set TiVo (and some other DVR systems) to record specific shows and play them back at your convenience. That, in and of itself could simplify and de-stress life a bit. But the real advantage comes from only watching shows you determine you want to watch in advance. May people I’ve spoken to say they spend less time watching TV after they’ve bought their TiVos because they’re only watching the shows they care about and not aimlessly channel surfing.
Total up the amount of time you spend watching TV. How many of those shows do you really care about? TiVo them and ignore the rest.

I found your blog through Raelyn’s, but just wanted to mention to anyone who reads your blog that you can get a FREE Tivo AND $31 profit after rebates! Go to best buy.com and buy the one there (it’s on sale for $129 or something) Shipping is FREE cause the purchase was big enough to qualify. Then print up the TiVo 2007 rebate and get a $170 rebate. I bought one for our family and LOVE it!!!
