I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! IT'S TiVo... not Tevo.
There... I feel better.

   While I'm here.... I'd just like to say that both
my children ( under 6 ) and my wife ( under 40 ) can
operate our TiVo. They can fast forward, rewind,
mark as "keep and don't erase", etc. Try to have your
3 year old do that on Freevo or whatever. ;)

   TiVo's were designed for the non-computer user. You
can pull the plug on your 200Gig TiVo, power it back on
and be back in business in 3 minutes. No fsck or whatever.
