That's the beautiful thing about Tivo (or any other PVR that
automatically records) along with having a relatively large channel
selection. You can record fifteen documentaries in a day and watch
them at your leisure ;)
I set my Tivo to record documentaries, or cartoons that I normally
couldn't catch. Gotta love the Tivo fast-forward-30-seconds button
feature to skip past those commercials in almost no time.
Of course, all of these features are included in MythTV/insert other
variant of Linux-based PVR. Now we just need to find a way to
transcode the DirecTV signal through a computer. :(

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so
many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -
because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too
cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are
called patience and forbearance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
