I just recently made the plunge into a PVR with MythTV and though perhaps a TiVo would have been easier to set up, I am really enjoying the usefullness. I can set it to record a show and then watch it later without the commercials. I can record movies off of cable, transcode them to DivX, and store them for later if I want. I can grab all the episodes of sci-fi channel shows I want without having to find them in a tv guide. It quickly changes the way you watch tv to use one of these PVRs.

Do you use one?
 
I have the Comact one, because it's $5 a month cheaper than just HDTV, so I save 5 a month to get a DVR. But I don't use it, as I don't watch very much TV.
 
we get basic cable and replaytv = pretty much any show we want any time of day 😀 for under $25/mo 😀
 
I use the DishPVR that's built into my sat reciever. Before you have one, you think it's something you can do without, but it's changed my whole TV experience (of what little i do watch). It does tend to spoil one though. I'll be over at a friend's house (who has cable TV, no PVR) and see something cool and try to rewind it for him to see, but alas there is no rewind button 🙁
 
We have a Tivo, I mainly use it for my Adult Swim shows but my wife is addicted to it. If I was to disconnect it she would surly end up on the 11:00 news for murdering me.
