TiVo Overload

It’s times like this that I’m grateful to have the technology that exists today. Could we really get on with our lives without cell phones, Blackberries, iPods, or DVR’s?

The Fall television season is upon us and I’m finding it completely difficult to keep up. In the old days, there was only 3 TV networks and so it wasn’t as tough catch the new shows that I wanted to see. But now…sheesh!!!

Cole and I have 2 TiVo boxes in our home. One can actually record two programs at the same time while watching a 3rd, and one is in our bedroom and I can download the shows from that box onto my laptop. So it’s like having 3 VCR’s in the house. But I’m finding that that isn’t enough.

How can I catch everything I want to see? My head is spinning and Aleve isn’t helping! I guess the only saving grace is that the only show on CBS that even remotely interests me is “Cane.” Otherwise, my attentions are focused on NBC, CBS, Fox, HGTV, Sci-Fi, Bravo and Logo, just to name a few.

And even with the ability to record on three separate TiVo tuners, I’m still running into recording conflicts. And to think that just a short 5 years ago, setting the clock on one’s VCR took a degree in Rocket Science to figure out.

Note to Excedrin and Tylenol: Can you please make a TiVo Overload strength?
