As Adam said, there are lots of companies following this model. Look at all of the MMORPGs for a direct example. > I don't like TV myself I feel TV is a waste of time.

Now I never miss the nightly news because it's always there when I get home. I can record movies and educational shows any time of day with a few button presses and watch them when I feel like it. If the phone rings, I pause what I'm watching, answer the phone, hang up on the telemarketter, and I don't miss anything. You don't have to do anything with the TiVo, but some rabid fans might try to get you to change your mind. :) Nate Rabid Tivotee
