Prepare for product placements galore and the "Tylenol CSI: New York Show" as advertisers look for ways to get around this trend.
Since TiVo I definitely watch MUCH less tv. I make sure the shows I want are recorded and I watch them when it's convenient. Kids too, watch less live tv and mostly what they have recorded.
If I have an hour free I catch that Deadwood or Soprano's episode. If I have 47 minutes free I catch up on that recorded "hour" Rescue Me or CSI or Law & Order without commercials. I definitely don't troll around live TV anymore.
In the winter I will sometimes set (classic or new) movies to record in the middle of the night just to have things to watch when I am bored.
Other than Yankee baseball and Rescue Me, there is really nothing new on in the summer anyway.
TiVo is truly one of the best inventions. I can't imagine TV without it anymore.
