Frank Ahrens from the business section of The Washington Post here. For
a story on the future of TV, I'm looking for the ultimate TiVo user,
the leading edge of where the rest of use will be in a few years. The
crux of this story is that viewers are no longer bound to broadcast
schedules and have used TiVo and other DVRs to create their own
broadcast schedules, unshackling them from the tyranny of the networks.
For instance, my friend's son regularly watches "Alias" (broadcast on
ABC on Wednesday nights) over breakfast before school on Thursdays. I'm
looking for a TiVo user who has created their own broadcast schedule of
several shows that we could print in the paper, alongside the actual
broadcast schedule, in addition to allowing me to quote them in the
story. For instance, ABC broadcasts "Lost" on Wednesday night at 8
p.m., but that's when Ted TiVo is at his Tae-Bo class. So he watches it
on Friday nights. Something like that. Also, I'd like to talk to folks
who are using TiVo in ways I haven't even thought about and can give me
ideas about other future uses of TV. Thanks much. I can be reached at
the listed e-mail through this week. (Ending 4/29)
