Now, I do have to add at this point that we stopped off at Best Buy on our way home to look into TiVo. It would be wonderful to have the capability to stop live programing when something comes up while viewing our favorite programs. We spent a long time going over the stuff we would need for it and that there would also be a 13 bucks a month cost just for using TiVo. Ok, now this is all getting expensive. The last thing we want are more bills just for enjoying watching tv. We decided to just forget all about this for the time being and wondered into the stereo section instead and purchased a new receiver and 300 disk Cd player.

Ok, I will get to my point of this thread now. We get home and I hook up the DVR and we start messing around with it. The first thing that was noticed was that it had picture in picture buttons on the remote. I figure what the heck, press them "figuring that it will do nothing, just buttons for another thing you would have to pay extra for". They worked! Not only picture in picture but you can swap out between the 2 channels and have the other become the larger viewing picture with the sound. My husband is going to love this during Football season.
Looking over the features of the DVR itself it was realized pretty fast that you can pause live programing and it will recored the program for you while you are busy doing something else. Also, any show you have been watching is automatically, temporarily recording and you can rewind at any point during the show and you will not miss anything because it keeps recording. WOW, this is what we wanted to TiVo for. I am so glad we went with the stereo components instead.
