Bought a TiVo for my parents

March 09th 2005 Posted to General, TiVo

My parents’ birthday (yes, that’s right - parents’ - they both have the same birthday) is this week and I wanted to get them something different this year. I went ahead and bought them a TiVo along with a 6 month gift subscription. I’m a little worried because I’ve told them about my TiVos before (my wife and I have two) and they’ve never expressed very much interest in them, but I have a feeling that they’re just having trouble envisioning it. Maybe I’m a zealot, but I just can’t imagine anyone who owns only a VCR getting a TiVo and not finding it to be utterly superior to the VCR. Hopefully, they’ll love it and will be able to get it setup without too many long “tech support” calls to yours truly.

This was also an opportune time to sign up for the TiVo Rewards program.
