They think we're just being mean if we can't conjure up their shows or pause them. My kids completely don’t understand the concept of live TV.

That and he's not too keen on watching live TV because then he can't skip through the commercials *chuckle* My 7 yo gets rather miffed when the TV can’t be paused so he can go to the bathroom.

The power supply died on our TiVo a while back. The 5 days we waited for the replacement part (Thank you Weaknees!) it was painful to have to remember to watch our shows at their regularly scheduled time slot and watch the commercials. Thankfully, now we have a second TiVo (Thank you Dockers/JCPenney's) that we won't have to go through that again.

The last time we visited my in-laws, I let my oldest (5 years old) watch Twister when it was broadcast on TNT. The next day, he asked if he could watch it again. I told him that Gramma and Grampa don't have TiVo so he would have to wait to watch it again if it came on TV again. As luck will have it, it was re-broadcast the later on in the day (as the norm for TNT).
