TIVO is very popular …a must have service for many, but for me, it makes me crazy …truthfully, I hate it

Why?

Let me do my TOP 2,000 REASONS TO NOT HAVE TIVO

1.  TIVO can suddenly turn the screen black,  Usually, I still have audio but changing the channel using the TV remote will not work

2.  Sometimes, TIVO changes the channel to whatever.  If you don't scramble quickly to the TIVO remote to click for "Watch Live TV" it may take a while to get back to where you were

3.  We've had it where TIVO selects a channel and does not allow any change with either the TIVO or TV remote control.  We have to unplug TIVO to re-start watching TV

4.  You're watching live TV and TIVO changes the channel.  You click for "Watch Live TV" mode, but TV again changes the channel.  This can continue for hours

5.  TIVO vastly slows down channel changing in "Watch Live TV" mode.  I click or input a channel number, and it's slow

6.  My wife sets TIVO to record a certain show and TIVO selects a different channel we don't even get to record (black screen is recorded)

7.  You enter a time and channel to record and TIVO will not accept your commands.  It changes the time or the channel to whatever

8.  TIVO will not record any channel you are not already watching…that's stupid

9.  You are watching live TV and TIVO changes the channel.  You click to say "No" but the channel changes anyway…to another live TV channel (not the one you were watching)

10.  You click the button to turn on the TV and it will not turn on.  You have to first use the TIVO remote then try again

OK, OK, so it's not 2,000 reasons, but it's still a nightmare.  Even my wife who uses TIVO (I have never once recorded anything) admits it's "difficult"

NO !!!  TIVO IS A NIGHTMARE !!!
