Yes, I agree.  The 2 tuners are great, before I had to set the right
cable channel before I turned the TV off just to use the VCR with the
digital box.

Also I find I am getting used to the setup and not rushing it, thus I
don't accidentally erase shows any more.  The phone line thing also
would have been a major pain in my apartment, and I know I wouldn't
have been able to justify the TIVO expenditure.

It's worth another 8.95 a month not to stay up too late or leave for
work too late because something is on...not to mention all my favorite
series being rerun at midnight or later  :)
