					<description><![CDATA[Tivo is one brand name of Digital Video Recorder. You can pay monthly for the service (like Tivo, which is &#034;free&#034; with a $700/year satellite package) or cobble one together for free from an old computer by adding open source DVR software. You might need to spring for a 100$ HDTV tuner and remote for the old machine.
 
Basically, these replace the linear recording tape with a random-access disk, plus software to take advantage of the flexibility. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m amazed that nobody mentioned Tivo. I guess if you don&#039;t watch tv, you don&#039;t need tivo? Okay that makes sense. But for me, I salivate at the thought of Tivo, no commercials, it records what you want and you can fast forward and rewind it and pause &#034;live&#034; tv. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And soon, we won&#039;t even need a tangible version of media &lt;i&gt;at all&lt;/i&gt;. With the advent of mp3 players and online television airing, you don&#039;t need a hard copy of type of show or music you should wish to enjoy. I think probably the switch from tangible hard-copy media to transferable data will overall have an even larger cultural impact. Look at what mp3s have done to the music industry! The music industry has lost a great deal of ground, and even with the RIAA&#039;s enforcement, new albums leak several months before their official release and spread like wildfire. 
 

 
Actually, this has probably had a similar effect as with recordable television and sports. We don&#039;t have to wait for a specific release date or even leave the house to buy music anymore, so we can only create that sense of community by going to concerts. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I almost forgot to mention...VCRs are still available at most thrift stores and garage sales, though often without a working remote control.  Replacement (universal) remote controls can be found at Walmart (and elsewhere) for under $10. ]]></description>
