Tivo wasn't helpful for anything live, but yeah, it was amazing that we had it.

The trick was to not watch anything live. If you waited until at least a third of the show was over you were usually good to go.

I get that you can watch a sports match an hour or so behind, but it's not the same. For a pre-made TV show it's fine.

And also the enjoyment-wrecking results streaming across the bottom of the screen.
