I know the whole idea of Tivo is to free you from the networks schedule, but do you have your OWN schedule of what you watch & when? Or is it just anarchy, whatever you durn well feel like?

An interesting question, which doesn't seem to have attracted any interest.

I have 3 categories of things I record, things I want to watch, things I might want to watch, and films I'd like to watch sometime. The things I want to watch will tend to be watched as soon as they're available, quite often 10-20 mins after the start of the broadcast. I still know what the network schedule for those are so I can be there a little later.

The other stuff is there for times there's nothing more compelling available.

I doubt anyone has a "TiVo will get Alias on Sun night, and I'll watch it Tues night" schedule unless you're watching it with friends. Most viewing would be "whenever I have time".

I tend to watch whatever my wife and I feel like at any moment regardless of when it originally aired. The only things that are more or less watched each day, is the evening news recorded at 6:30 which we watch by around 7:00 or so during dinner.

Otherwise, just too many choices. :)

Before re-run season, I usually watched Boston Public, and 24 within 30 minutes of their start time. Buffy & Enterprise varied, depending on how good they were and what else was on Now Playing. I frequently watched Sunday's Charmed on Thursday, mainly because until recently there was NOTHING on Thursday for me. Friday is anarchy; if I even watch TV then, it's just whatever the heck I haven't already seen. Of course, between reruns and my enjoying the longer summer days, my "schedule" is becoming more anarchy than it was.

On things that my wife and I watch together, we wait until we are both free. Which can be quite a long time - we have yet to start to watch the last season of "Six Feet Under". On shows that I alone watch, I usually wait until there are several episodes saved so that I can watch a night of "24" or "The Wire" etc. Some shows are just filler, like "X-Play" or "Family Guy" that I'll watch whenever I have 22 minutes.

"Oooh, I've got 22 minutes. Time for a quick TV fix"
22 minutes later...
"Oh yeah... that was good stuff!"
