Always thought TiVo was just another DVR until I found one at a thrift store for $8
I picked up this old TiVo Series 2 at Goodwill in Portland last month on a whim. The thing looked like it had been through a war, but for 8 bucks I figured why not. Hooked it up to my old CRT in the garage and man, the interface is still so smooth and simple. I had to call my buddy to help me find a way to still get guide data, which is a whole thing, but now I use it every day when I'm cleaning my bike or just tinkering. The skip button alone is way better than any modern streaming app I've tried. Has anyone else found a weird old gadget that actually became your daily driver? I'm curious what other stuff holds up like this.

Told my neighbor about TiVo and now he's got three hooked up in his house.
