I've had 1 for a few years now. Its a series 1 tivo, when it dies i'll get a new one. My feelings on the matter boil down to "friends don't let friends watch live TV".

Watching a movie, get an important call? Pause.
Need to take a leak? Pause.
Can't STAND Old Navy commercials? Fast Forward.
GF/Wife suddenly wants to see every West Wing ever shown? Set up a 'season pass', and get them all on Bravo.
Dad in town, addicted to stargate SG-1, but you have things to do in the evening? Season Pass, do your thing. When he wakes up in the morning, he can watch them.

I wouldn't go back....Oh, I also picked a an ElGato EyeTV. Its a little box that takes coax on one side, and USB on the other. Plug into your mac, and it uses local disk to record...very cool.....
