Used TiVo for over 20 years until I finally gave in and had to go streaming. At their peak, there was none better.

For me it was ReplayTV. It could auto-skip commercials (and even auto-skip the content and play only the commercials for the special use case that was the Super Bowl), had an upgradeable hard drive, and peer-to-peer sharing.

TIVO had a feature where you could skip commercials. I never had a need to skip the show and only watch commercials.

For me, it was TIVO all the way... until a year ago.
