While I’ve used a number of TiVo’s at other people’s houses, it wasn’t until a week ago that I was able to claim one as my own.

I try not to watch too much television. I knew that if I ever got a TiVo, I’d learn everything about it and try to understand it well enough to continue watching less TV but now on my own schedule. So far it’s been great.

Tonight while setting up My TiVo on the net, I noticed a link encouraging people to sign up as a beta tester. Nothing new there. Then I saw a link looking for user testers. Awesome! I knew TiVo put a lot of energy into the remote and the software but for some reason I thought they were done with user testing. It’s encouraging to see TiVo conducts usability testing on a regular basis. If you live in the Bay area, sign up and help shape the future of TiVo.
