Except TiVo watches what it wants to watch - and TiVo loves sport.<BR/><BR/>Get a new TiVo, plug it in and watch as bizarre suggestion after weird suggestion rolls in. American TiVos always latch on to home improvement programmes and - American football - presumably their target audience is real men fully in touch with their feminine side. <BR/><BR/>Slap it down and TiVo starts getting very strange ideas about your viewing habits - breasts feature very heavily ('Run Eliza! Run!') - but only in medical programmes featuring the largest, smallest, migratory or predatory breasts. <BR/><BR/>This phase is very embarrassing, at no point should you suggest 'Let's see what TiVo has recorded?' You'll get an eyeful of something resembling Hieronymous Bosch's brief porno career - or Channel 4 primetime as its better known.<BR/><BR/>After that every TiVo develops a tanker fixation - if it floats, it floats TiVo's boat.<BR/><BR/>I think I've finally weaned mine off Fred Dibnah, but very foolishly I then went and watched ten minutes of 'The Two Towers' - I'm going to have goblins wall to wall for the next six months; 'And now on Channel 4 - Celebrity Elf Squeezing with Graham Norton and Liza Minelli.'<BR/><BR/>You forgot to mention that abc1 does have repeats of the incomparable 'Moonlighting' - 'Run Cybill! Run!'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1162420544327272302006-11-01T14:35:00.000-08:002006-11-01T14:35:00.000-08:00The Robin Hood theme more than makes up for your l...The Robin Hood theme more than makes up for your lack of sporting interest.<BR/><BR/>I'm nothing if not fair :)Stuart Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232782649771676547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1162163641415585842006-10-29T15:14:00.000-08:002006-10-29T15:14:00.000-08:00Stuart: "It's like finding out Kelsey Grammer is a...Stuart: "It's like finding out Kelsey Grammer is a Republican... :-)"<BR/><BR/>Ha! I like that. And hopefully the fact that I like that will buy me back some respect :)<BR/><BR/>Yes, SportsNight is tops. A great discovery. Who knows, maybe if I gave actual sports a try, I might be similarly pleasantly surprised.
