I had a box, but wasn't paying for the service. It was still really cool to have a half hour of memory to pause a show and skip through commercials.

It really wasn't though it looked like shit and it was a pain in the ass to do it that way. Not everything before you were born is automatically cool and better

I remember using video tapes until 2005 and then started getting a bigger DVD collection we had a Panasonic HDD recorder from 2006-early 2010s

All I mean to say is that TiVo was a shitty proprietary form of DVR compared to the better power user options

I used vhs tapes till youtube and broadband reached my neighborhood in 2004. Greater image quality and you could pause without a static line in the frame. It used to take 15 minutes to download a bangbus trailer.

It was one of those “in-between” services that was the hot shit for about five minutes, but then fizzled when internet went full normie mainstream and streaming became a thing. See also:

>Satellite radio (kept alive through contracts with car manufacturers now)
>Redbox
>Netflix rentals by mail
