TiVo
“Greater even, that the gift of LIFE!!!”
TiVo is a magic box that records the magic box it is connected to (TV) and has the ability to change your life forever, This "DVR" is famous for being well advertised and for being placed into the heads of the average joe, Billions of People own TiVo just so they can record their favorite shows but many of those people are disappointed.
History[edit]
TiVo first appeared in history in 1984 when an ordinary guy wanted to record his favorite shows, But he didn't want to pay for a DVR like ReplayTV or the cable's DVR service, So he decided to built his own DVR complete with a hard drive, remote, and a modem built into the device, The result was TiVo, a DVR that could record over 500,000 shows and store it on it's 500gb hard drive, The DVR instantly gained popularity thanks to his attention hogging, People who didn't want to buy a DVR just bought a TiVo from the ordinary guy, In 1990, 6 years after he built the first TiVo, Some guys in grey suits came to him with an offer, The offer was that he would be offered 10 billion dollars for all the rights to TiVo, oh, and they also requested a Snickers Bar, The ordinary guy offered the big bucks that they offered him and he was on a high road to success and fame, The guys in the grey suit quickly formed TiVo Inc. and sold the TiVo DVR for many years to come, while the Ordinary guy was busy getting laid.
Commercials[edit]
Recently, TiVo commercials have been centred around old people, 3 men with varying Pe-Vo sizes, and horny boyfriends. The tagline is "My TiVo gets me", but is rebroadcast in Soviet Russia as "YOU!! get TiVo". In Australia, it is rebroadcasted as "TiVo, TV Your Way", compared to Soviet China's "Your TV's Way, Tivo".

TiVo is not without Critics, Some people complained TiVo has declined ever since being bought out by Those Guys in Grey Suits, Many people complained that the TiVo Series1 DVR space was not enough, They needed more than just 160gb, Many People complained about having to pay a monthly fee to use the TiVo service, Even more contorvorsy has risen ever since TiVo released their Series2 DVR, The people complained about Fees for many survices, and many people even sued TiVo for wrongly sucking money from them, But TiVo won them all and took the poor folks money, Boo Hoo, So Sad, Many people complained that when they tried to delete the buffer, They deleted their own recording, and deleting the buffer is tough since you have to call TiVo to get the passwords required and you'd have to be put on hold a lot in order to get the codes and when entered, It will delete their own recording, That pissed many people off, and many more people will be pissed when they get their new Tivo Series3 DVR. Plus, it is so addictive in the US, it came to Australia just in time to get bogans more addicted to their TiVo than anything else (apart from drugs of course).
