Drudge reports:
TiVo is sending news organizations cease-and-desist letters to keep them from using TiVo as a verb… Developing…
Guess the folks at TiVo aren’t as good a sports as the good folks at Hormel.
Just can’t stop languages from developing, guys.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

It’s also stupid on their part. It’s great advertising.
By the way I have a TiVo and it’s GREAT!!!!
Yes, but do you TiVo with your TiVo?
Errr…as a matter of fact I do. Maybe they won’t sue me since I have a TiVo? 🙂
I agree with Stephen. TiVo is great, and they should consider a good thing. It gets their brand-name out there for free.
Maybe a TiVo afficianado can school me a bit, please. Why is TiVo better than, say, buying a 40B hard drive video recorder or a DVD+/-RW machine? Doens’t TiVo charge for it’s service? Is it ultimately worth it when the same basic service could be had with a hard drive recorder?
Just wondering.
Check out their web site on what it does here. Go through all the items on the left. It explains it pretty well.
