I have heard of a TiVo and Media Centre Computers but have not yet ventured into making a purchase yet.  The TiVo articles are really pretty good - It gives a decent explanation of what a TiVo is.  Well it is simply a recorder - much like a VCR, but it records video to a Hard disk (like what is in your Computer). At the moment, I am not really convinced that it is worth it - why add another box to record TV when I only actually sit down and watch 3 or 4 shows per week? I cannot justify the cost of such a device.  Well the Author of the Focused TV article reacons it is great - and makes it easier to watch what you want.

Ten years ago, I barely had time for TV. If I watched TV at all, it was definetely on one of the major network channels because I didn’t even subscribe to cable. Because I was working nights at the time, it was pretty rare for me to even watch the good primetime shows. The few shows that I did follow were pretty much garbage designed to kill time, not to entertain me. I probably would still be just a casual TV watcher today, but in 2000 I purchased my first TiVo and everything changed.
