TiVo

I've had TiVo for a few years now. It's one of my most fun toys I must say.

Well, recently my ISP gave me a free wireless router so I figured, why not try the other features that TiVo has where you can have it hooked up to the Net?

I picked up this wireless adapter for it on their site and hooked it up. OH it's fun...all my geek flags are flying now!

It's neat, I can transfer any photos and music to my TiVo wirelessly now...so that's cool. How often will I use this? Probably not that much, but I guess if I had to share pictures with visitors I can easily upload them all to my TiVo and we can all watch them from the comfort of my couch.

It also let's me take shows recorded on TiVo and transfer them over to my computer. So now I can view them from my computer or elect to burn my shows unto a DVD. I guess that's kind of useful if my mom wants me to record her Oscars or something again next time.

Another cool thing is that I can schedule to record my shows from anywhere. I can be in Singapore and still get online to program what shows my TiVo will record for me. I tried that yesterday and it worked great.

Supposingly in a couple days they'll upgrade my system online so that I can check weather, watch the traffic, check my local movie listings, etc. I can't wait to play with that too.

HEY! I'll have none of that....you try working by yourself at home all the time. Suddenly the smallest things at home become the biggest entertainment.
