yesthattom | Tom's 3 Rules of Tivo

Rule 1: If I watch all the way to the end of the program, I have to delete it. Don't give me any of that "oh, I'll want to watch that again" bullshit. You don't have enough time to watch everything that gets recorded, let alone watch it a second time.
Rule 2: No marking things as "keep forever" except the 4-5 programs that I currently care about. "24", South Park, The West Wing, Sunday night's Adult Swim (just the first half), and any episodes of HBO's Sunday night lineup.
- Sub-Rule: If you add anything to the list of programs, you have to delete something of equal length.
Rule 3: If it's about to get old enough to be automatically deleted, let it be deleted. No extending the date. Archiving it to tape "because I really want to see it" (see rule 1 about how much free time you have). Dude, ya just gotta learn to "let it go".

These are my personal rules. They were devised to help me use Tivo to reduce the amount of TV that I watch. You're mileage may vary.
