K. Todd Storch@businessthoughts discusses What TiVo has done for his family

Pros:

• less surfing
• 50-60% less TV-time overall
• better management of kids TV time
• can watch what they want to watch once the kids are in bed

Cons:

• less awareness of what’s going on in the world (But he points out, you can get that from Google News and blogs. I’ll point out that knowing a bit less about what’s going on in the world might be better for your family.)
