I posted this a little while ago but it never showed up for some reason. Please tell me exactly what Tivo is and how you record on it, does it take tapes. I know absolutely nothing about it so please enlighten me.

hi tivo is a digital video recorder and tv guide that is searchable. tivo can record only to a hard disk but you can simultaneously record to a vhs or dvd burner if you have the equipment.

It's an actual unit that you hook up to your TV and then you set it up so that it records your favorite shows. Mine is apparently recording something right now!

except when you don't have a subscription then the box is absolutely useless.

I actually don't have a TIVO, I have a DVR that is provided thru my cable company, so my cable box is my DVR box

Even without a subscription the box still functions, you just don't get the great program guide, suggested recordings, searchable index, wish list.... Ok, I'll admit, I'm a Tivo fanatic with two in the house!
