Well, you know Dan, as one who has been watching just about everything "on 
demand" for ... decades, I don't see all that much difference. Yes, I make a 
conscious "effort" to set up the recorder. If I had a TiVo, I wouldn't even 
need to do that!

Take the NYC Cablevision subscriber who's hooked on House. Instead of missing 
it during the squabbles, he could have recorded it on a TiVo or other PVR. And 
imagine what would happen if a reasonable percentage of people started doing 
this on a regular basis.
