Tivo LOVE

I was canceling my AT&T long distance today…unfortunately after I did that the Customer Service Rep engaged me in a lengthy “survey about their services.” Amused…I played along. I was like, “No, not interested,” “No, that’s ok,” to every last thing. Then he said, “Well we have a DVR...” And I interrupted him and said, “Um, I have a Tivo and I love it.” And he said, “Well have you ever used any other DVR?” And I said, “Yes they are terrible.” And he says, “Wow, I’ve never heard anyone say that before.” I told him that I’ve had Tivo for 8 years and would not be able to live my TV life without it. Then I promptly said gotta go and good luck to you! And he kept me on the phone for about 5 more minutes selling stuff. I was like, “really sweetie, all the best to you, but gots to go!” I do feel bad though because AT&T let go 12,000 people today and I know he was trying to keep the numbers up!

That’s my TIVO love. I will go the ends of the earth for my Tivo. I will wait and wait for the Tivo HD to do down in price before I buy my lovely 47” Samsung 1080i HD TV. Oh yes people I waited 2 yrs. I can’t live without my Tivo and I’m willing to stand up for it.

Here are 10 reasons why I LOVE MY NEW HD TIVO:

1. IT RECORDS 2 PROGRAMS AT ONCE

2. There's no delay in clicking anything on the menu, it doesn't stall or whine just cuts right through the BS and responds quickly.

3. I can rent movies on Amazon Unbox in mere hours. Netflix is coming soon and I can barely contain myself.

4. I can play my own music library through my home computer.

5. I can display my personal photos through my home computer.

6. I can schedule recordings when I'm bored at work or on my iPhone.

7. I can download free video downloads from New York Times, CNET, The Onion, and Vogue.

8. Because it's beautiful.

9. Because it stopped recording Terminator.

10. Because I LOVE IT!
