Yeah…I’m just a bad ambassador. B-) I’m always telling people about it, and saying things like “and if you want to use me as a referral, here’s the email to use, but if you think I’m just doing this to get points, then just get the box and don’t put my name in, that’s the important thing”. I know of at least one guy who got the box but didn’t put my name in…so next time I visit I’m hiding his remote. B-)

I always wanted to storyboard a TiVo commercial. A guy is sitting in his living room, watching TiVo, playing around with the different options (pause, rewind, skip, etc), then looks at the remote with a look of wonder on his face and goes outside. Walking down the street, he sees various things that the TiVo remote can help with. A kid’s ice cream has fallen off the cone and onto the sidewalk, the kid is crying, so he hits rewind and the ice cream flies up from the sidewalk and back onto the cone…an item is knocked off a shelf, so he pauses it, allowing him to pluck the item out of midair and replace it…he eventually gets to work and is in a boring meeting, perfect for the skip/fast forward function. Stuff like that.
