Instant Review: Satellite and Tivo
Paula
it since they would give me the Tivo box for free. I LURV this
arrangement. I can record as I watch so that when I get interrupted
by kids and dogs, I can pause or rewind and review. I can buy the
$1.99 bargain pay per view movies and record them. My kids can watch
Daddy Daycare as many times as they want to for that $1.99 and I don't
have to remember to take it back to a video store. This is great! I
think I am going to have an arkchyx arkple so we can sit around making
fun of the Lifetime Channel movies. Kerri, you can bring Shorty and
we'll send him and the girls to the other room to watch Daddy Daycare.
We can have a huge birthday cake for Darla. Bring your own breakfast
maker and duck food.

That's OK, Darla, I wrote an ALMOST FUNNY followup to Paula's TiVo post
and then I EMAILED it instead of POSTING it, and since I don't ARCHIVE
emails, I don't even HAVE it anymore, and now it's LOST LOST LOST, and
now I have no way to explain that I'm ALMOST as cool as you because it's
ALMOST my birthday, too. And that I'm in love with Steve Zahn in Daddy
Daycare.

I would be happy to buy you a ticket on my birthday for a hamburger
today. I don't know why they gave me the Tivo instead of you.
Perhaps they didn't want to take it all the way up to Canuckistan. Do
you even have electricity in the wilds of Nova Scotia? Send me a good
looking mountie and I'll send you my Tivo.

Anyway you can now see what is so cool about these things. It's
difficult to describe to the inexperienced why they are better than
VCRs. I think that the automation and the user interface and the tricks
like pausing live TV are actually secondary; the key thing is that the
drive can record and play at the same time. A VCR is effectively
useless while it's recording something, and when it's set up to record
something on the timer, it's a fragile arrangement that can easily be
disturbed by the other people living in your house. With the TiVo (or
any other brand of hard-disk PVR) this is not an issue, so the thing can
just record shows all day without inconveniencing anyone.
And if you got the kind that is built into the satellite receiver you
can record TWO THINGS AT ONCE, which in practice almost eliminates
program conflicts unless you are completely obsessed with TV.
Our original TiVo had a 30-gig ("30-hour", though this is a crock as
that means crappy quality) drive, and we were constantly faced with the
TiVo Guilt problem of feeling obligated to watch stuff before the disk
got full enough that it could no longer keep weird things recorded on a
robotic whim. But once we put in a second drive and bumped it past 100
gigs this was no longer really a problem. The one we have now is only
80-gig, but this still does not cause much trouble. I think there's a
threshold somewhere around 60 or 70 gigabytes, beyond which the TiVo can
actually hold more shows than most people really care about watching,
and it becomes effectively infinite.

I've been shunning TiVo for quite some time now, based on the cost of
the unit, perils in upgrading as related by Kibo, and the subscription
cost, not to mention that all this was doubled by the wacky A/B cable
service in Boston.
Then I look at two bookcases full of terabytes of DVD movies and TV
shows and wonder again about the cost. I mean, even though it was only
$8 on DVD, how many times am I going to watch Cabin Boy?

Okay okay. Consider yourself the one arkdood invited to the Tivo
party. I only have a 30-hour drive.
I love the pause feature on the tivo more than anything at this point.
I am constantly being interrupted and just plain losing my
concentration. This invariably happens in one of the few places it
really matters to know what is actually going on. Now I can pause,
rewind, yell at the kids to shut up already, rewind, slo-mo, etc.
It's great! I set the tivo up to record a few things just to check
out how the season ticket and other features work. I will probably
become addicted to the recording features in time.
I am so glad to finally be at the cool table. Who knew it was
actually a cool entertainment center?

No, I am at the nerd table. My DVD player is hooked up to a 20 year
old Commodore 64 monitor (through a Radio Shack audio mixer, to mix
the stereo down to mono), we don't have satellite (cable is
unavailable), and while we have excellent reception of Syracuse's
three VHF stations, the PBS station and the rest of UHF is AWOL.
Then again, my interest in television is such that a 30 kilobyte TiVo
would probably be sufficient for me.
OK, I lie. I'm actually going through Woodwright's Shop withdrawal.

I was going to say liquid oxygen, and then I was thinking gummi worms,
but I think ultimately I have to go with 'Star Trek V: The Final
Frontier', or possibly one of Coleman Francis's movie (probably 'Red
Zone Cuba' since that one has the least sex in it).
Another runner-up was ultraviolet, but that seemed awful fast to be
slow.

OK, Paula. Remember this. REMEMBER this the next time they're whining

On ARKMOO, we have determined that there is no such thing as a film that

ah, proof! you're BOTH wimmins!
(now, if y'd said Toy Story, that'd would've been a TRAP--it's got
both Tim Allen *and* Tom Hanks, so any manly man oozing man-ness would
say "git that girly crap AWAY from me!", but their faces are cleverly
hidden ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH FILMS and they feature POWER TOOLS and
WAY COOL DESTRUCTION and were made with HUGE banks of GRUNT computers,
so self-respecting mens can still watch them, as long as a woman's
involved. and you can trust me on this, 'cos I've read spt's Bloke
pages and Know About These Things.)

Yes, but it also turns into whatever is the most powerful anti-aphrodisiac
there is. (Possibly The Golf Channel, or any program from that "G4" channel
that just shows ads for video games and pretends Wil Wheaton never existed.)
So I would rule out hydrogen because it could potentially change into
anything, even a still picture of Roger Ebert taking a shower.
Science needs to invent a light, colorless gas which can only turn into sex.
