I didn't get a chance last night to watch "24," so it's still sitting in my Tivo. And tonight, there's the first Hollywood episode of "American Idol," plus the season finale of "The Amazing Race 6" (which dating couple will win?), and a new episode of "Veronica Mars." It's so much I even have to resort to the vcr (which has been relegated to backup status). That's 5 hours of prime TV . . . . And tomorrow brings new episodes of "American Idol," "Lost," and "Alias." And Thursday brings "The Apprentice," and Friday brings "Battlestar Galactica," and Saturday brings "MI-5," and Sunday brings "Boston Legal."
Help!!!!
Sounds like it's time for either a second Tivo or a larger capacity Tivo for you!

Well, there's a more important limitation in terms of time available to watch all this!

I think you've mentioned an aversion to this, but TV on DVD... no need to even hit the skip button for commercials plus it comes in a custom-designed box!

Maybe it's time for TIVO to go...

Do you mean TiVoToGo? Or do you mean I should get rid of my Tivo? Because the latter ain't happening.

With the advent of Battlestar Galactica and my discovery of MI-5, we finally watch some of the same shows.

Dylan, I'm a little surprised you don't watch "24." I would've thought you'd like the reactionary nature of it.

Glad to know another Alias fan!
But as a connoisseur of reality TV, do you agree that last night's "very special episode" of wife swap was the best drama on ABC?

Eh, I sometimes read the recaps of "Wife Swap" on Reality News Online, but I haven't watched it. I've pared my reality TV down to "American Idol," "The Apprentice," "The Amazing Race," and "Survivor." And "$40 a Day" if Rachael Ray is visiting a cool city. And the occasional "Iron Chef." And "Mythbusters."
Oh, what's the use? I can't control myself!!!

Tung: I've got the Hughes DirectTV Tivo and have been trying to figure out if there is a way to hook up a DVD burner to it. Sounds like you need the same thing. Any idea if it's possible?

Prof. Bainbridge, try the TiVo Community board. I think this thread (specific to DirectTV) may answer your question.
Posted by: Tung Yin | February 10, 2005 at 09:53 PM
There are two ways to go -- you can hook a standalone DVD burner up just like a VCR and use the "Save to VCR feature" (basicly, just playing out of the TiVo and into the VCR in realtime) or you can expand your TiVo. That is what I did, using a Weaknees kit, and it worked spectacularly. I went from having no space for "TiVo suggestions" (which I love) to 40-50 suggestions all the time. PLUS my normal 20 hours of so of Season Pass stuff.

I received a green screen display with an error message. I know that this message is displayed while TiVo attempts to repair the data contents of its hard drive. But I don't know what to do. It's been green for more than 5 hours and I think TiVo's dead. Could you help me with some advice, please?
