</obvious flamebait>
Harharhar
TIVO sucks.
Not really.
I've owned both. I got that 30-Hour Panasonic Showstopper that was in your sig a few weeks back and so far I find the interface a lot less intuitive and the features more limited.
But for the most part, it gets the job done which is what really matters to me. I don't even own a VCR anymore.
Edit:
I've heard that the new Replay 45xx series are much nicer and easier to use, but they are still pretty expensive and the only real edge they had on TiVo is gone because you have to pay an additional fee now, either monthly or a one-time.
you think its more intuitve but thats only cause youre dumb. if you were smart like rossman and I you would appreciate the more flexible and powerful interface of replay vs the thumbs up/down interface of tivo.
The thumbs up/thumbs down interface has nothing to do with setting up the shows you want to record. It's used for TiVo Suggestions which are just shows that it records that you might like, which is easily turned off.
As far as setting up your TiVo to record the shows that you definitely want there are several options available to you:
Season Passes: Allows you to get every episode of a show, regardless of time or channel and can be filtered to not record reruns.
Wishlists: You can tell the TiVo to record a certain program, or programs with a certain theme or actor or director or keyword, etc.
Record by Time or Channel: Pretty Self Explanatory
as well as several others. Have you ever actually used a TiVo?
