My TiVo has no name. I've just never been into naming inanimate objects. (Well, my old Honda Civic was "baby" sometimes, but only when I was having, you know, private conversations with it.)
(That looks considerably pornier than it should.)
You want to meet the real me now?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

My computer's name is Elvis, but I have no tivo to name. I have a sewing machine, that I'm often using when I watch television, but I suspect that's not in the same league.

I can't even.
My weapons, on the offchance they don't predate language, are in a better position to name me than vice versa.
Being elfswords, of course they have names, and histories and genealogies and clever party tricks ...
ita, you now must go on a quest to elfland to discover their true names. Take Sean, and definitely Allyson, she'll love it.

My TiVo just hasn't told me its name yet...
Yes, but has it told you if you're gay or not?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
BTW, I got an email the other day from Tivo with a sale offer - $199 (after a rebate) for a 40 hour and some amount for an 80 hour that I can't remember. If I had two hundred freaking dollars right now, I'd be all over it. What I can afford to do, however, is forward the email with the offer to anyone who might be considering.
[My tragic Tivo story: At one point a few years ago, I had a few hundred bucks that I could spare. I ordered a Tivo from J&R, which had the best price. It arrived, and what followed was a month of bliss. Then it died. By the time I got it back to them, they had discontinued the model I had, and the only ones left cost more money. I could no longer spare any money, and had to take a refund. I have been sadly Tivoless ever since. And I've never gotten over it. When I finally get a real job again, it's the first thing on my list. I'll buy a new Tivo before I buy new furniture. Seriously.]

Probably, since I watch QEFTSG.
But I turned off the Suggestions feature anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The suggestions, or the automatic recording thereof? Does it default to on? I don't remember ever turning mine off, or having it on.

I think it defaults to on.
Every once in a while I check out the list just to see what it thinks I shoudl be watching.

The top half of my list is things I do like, just don't want to watch. Or have watched. Like Buffy on FX -- good call, guys. I wish I could make those go away without lying about my ratings.
