Not like Jewish mother "You never call!" guilt. And really... watching something LIVE? That is SO 20th century. The greatest satisfaction in watching something on television is not watching it live, it's watching it without commercials. When I want to watch it. Phhhhbbbbllllllttt.

(Yeah, just kidding. You look good, Brad!) But, like almost all tv news, I think "really?" I look at those people interviewed and I think that, in the 80s, it could have been spun as an advertisement for Communism: less choice is better! Please -- TiVo is particularly elegant at making it easier for you to make choices about what to watch, and the only reason why people fear deleting is because they might later feel like they still wish they had that choice that TiVo gave them. Organization and prioritization are the survival skills of the 21st century. If too many things to choose from is your problem, that's something to work on.
