My mom can TiVo faster than your mom
I witnessed something amazing today.
On a recent visit with my parents, my mom realized one minute before the Olympics kicked off in prime-time that one of her regularly recorded shows was going to prevent the Olympics from recording on TiVo (it's a single tuner TiVo) that night.
Without missing a beat, my mom grabbed the TiVo remote control, brought up the menu, browsed by channel, found the Olympics, hit record, acknowledged that it would be ok to cancel her reguarly recorded show, hit the menu again, browsed to another channel, found a later, repeat showing of her reguarly recorded show and scheduled it to record at 4:00 in the morning and finally, tuned back to another show she wanted to watch before "catching up" on the Olympics.
Folks, she did this all in about 30 seconds. If there was a crown awarded to the fastest TiVo mom in the country, my mom would have it bestowed upon her head right now.
I love you Mom!

I LOVE my TIVO ... yes I have a DVR as well (in another room) but I prefer my TIVO for ease of use ... I got my first TIVO more than 8 years ago ... maybe closer to 10. GO TIVO and congrats to your mom and being the ‘fastest draw’!
