Tivo and me

susandennisThe new harddrive for Tivo will be here on Wednesday. Then I will have to decide whether or not to put it in now, or wait and until this drive totally fails and put it in then. Of course, I have seen nearly none of the behavior that originally caused me to panic and order it.
I'll want to watch everything I currently have recorded and get it in there before the next recording is scheduled. I have been saving West Wings and that collection will now have to go. Oh, sure, I could dump them on to VHS but that's just silly. I can get new ones. But, the worst part is going to be severing the ties.
One of the most wonderful things about Tivo is that it gets to know you. When it's not recording something you requested, it looks at what you like and finds similar stuff and records that. So, you get these little treats of stuff you'd never have found on your own. My Tivo and I have been watching TV together now for more than three years. We're a good team.
When I yank out that harddrive, I will be yanking out us. I'll have to start a whole new relationship with the hew harddrive. I think I'm going to do the yanking next Sunday. I'll probably change my mind on that about a dozen times between now and then but that's what I'm thinking now. If I have to start a new relationship, I might as well get it going ASAP.
