I bought my parents a TIVO for xmas and they say they like it but I just wanted to get some honest opinions. I bought a Humax with the dvd-r but returned it, unopened. I was going to use it for the superbowl but never got around to opening it, too much was going on. I think I may just get the 40hr unit. I like the fact that you can pause live tv, get a drink and never miss a thing. I usually work nights so I figure I can record prime time tv and watch it the next morning. From what I've seen TIVO has alot to offer that the other DVRs don't so I'll probably stick with TIVO. I gave my parents the 80hr with the lifetime subscription. I'll probably get the 40hr with the same deal.

Satellite radio is pretty cool too. I'm alittle upset that my sportster quit working but hopefully I've have a new one soon. Its nice to listen to the same channel without have to worry about it fading out or having to find another channnel. They have all the music in very specific platforms and news channels 24 hrs a day. You name a type of music and they have a channel for it, from bluegrass to Elvis. The comedy channel has helped me stay awake many a night. Once you have it you don't want to be without it.
