Tivo Tides
With the coming of the fall TV season I’ve noticed something I’ll call the “Tivo Tide”. I joined the lucky ranks of timeshifters for TV about a year ago and have rarely watched live TV since. When I purchased my Tivo (it is indeed a true Tivo unit) I got the largest hard drive available and so have quite a few season passes.
I have several shows on the major networks that I watch regularly and I have these set to only record first run episodes. Then lower in my season pass list are some other shows that I like to watch but they aren’t priorities. I have these set for first run and repeats. What this allows is that I see the shows I want and after the regular season I get to catch up on the lower priority shows. This is particularly true when two shows are on at the same time.
This lets me see two shows that may be on the same time without having to either have two units or a unit capable of recording two shows at the same time.
I call it Tivo Tide because the shows on my Tivo seem to go through a series of undulations and now shows that I haven’t thought about or seen an episode of in a long time are appearing. Then as the TV season slows and comes to an end, those fade and I get to see a whole new crop of shows and catch up on them.
