Do you guys think TVO is good or bad? We just recently got it and although my family is super big on TV and always watching it it seems like it has gotten even worse! My mother used to stay home till 1 everyday because she had to watch her morning and afternoon turkish soap operas. Well now she can be out in the morning but shes watching the TV for the rest of the day! And if I saved a show on there for later and I come back and its not on there anymore I go balistic! My mother drives me crazy she saves all her shows and movies and deletes all mine thinking they're not important. Although we spend a lot of time watching TV I feel like TVO also gives us more time together because it doesnt mean we have to change our schedules around so we dont miss a show.

Wow my family is quite the opposite, and I think Tvo might actually benefit us.  We all have different schedules, with three kids in college and my mom, the weekend is really the only time we have together.  And then when we do sit down to watch tv, there's usually nothing worth watching on.  So having something like tvo could be good.

I'm getting TVO this weekend. I know many people who love it for those reasons like you can go out while your favorite show is on and still be able to watch it later on. It makes it more convenient, but if you are spending all your time in front of your TV that could be bad. I think watching shows together can be a good thing. We used to always watch AFV together and laugh as a family.
