This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine.
I admit it. I'm a TV junkie. I watch so much different stuff - from sports to cheesy reality shows to dramas to documentaries. From Mad Men to Gossip Girl and everything in between. People who say that they don't own TVs or don't watch them are like aliens to me.
So obviously a good DVR is a must for someone like me, especially at the start of the Fall TV season when there are so many new shows to check out. That's why I was excited to hear about the new TiVo Premiere and TiVo Slide remote. It's got a lot of cool features that can help you make sure you'll never miss anything that you might want to see.
The one feature that's most exciting to me is TiVo Collections. When you use that feature along with TiVo search, it can help you find full past seasons of shows from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand or Blockbuster On Demand, as well as any upcoming episodes. (You can also use TiVo Search to search for any current shows, movies, or even web videos.) I love this because I'm the type of person who will just decide to start watching a show and get caught up on multiple seasons all at once, marathon style. I did that with season one of True Blood and seasons one and two of Mad Men, and now I'm hooked on both shows. I'm considering starting on Sons of Anarchy now because I've heard so many good things about it, so if you watch it feel free to leave a comment and help convince me to go for it.
The TiVo Premiere also has a Fall TV Guru Guide, which sounds like it would be really helpful for keeping track of all of the new shows that are starting now. I always have a hard time deciding which shows are going to be worth checking out, and which ones are going to end up getting the axe after two episodes. I like the sound of some of the new "girl power" type shows for this fall, like the CW's Nikita and NBC's Chase, so a guide like this would probably help me figure out which one is worth a spot on my viewing schedule.
One more cool thing is that there's a feature that's similar to IMDB that helps you search for everything that a particular actor has done. My friends and I are always catching different actors in random guest-starring roles - guess that's what happens when you watch so much TV - or having those moments where you say "hey it's that guy from...wait, where is he from?" So it would be great to have the ability to search that right at your fingertips.
Clearly this is something that I need in my life. So I became a Facebook Fan of TiVo (a sure sign of your devotion to all forms of media) and I entered the "30 Slides in 30 Days" Sweepstakes. They're giving away a TiVo Slide remote every day for 30 days. The deadline to enter is 9/22 so you should definitely Enter to Win now! You should also leave a comment and tell me what you're watching this season. I'm always looking for new shows.
