TiVo packrat

A person that TiVo's shows that merely look good when in reality they have no time or intention of watching it.

Do you realize that you have the entire seasons of 6 different shows that have been canceled on your TiVo. You are such a TiVo packrat!

Tivo Hoarder

A person who saves numerous television programs and/or movies to their DVR after viewing them with a small chance they will ever actually watch them again.

Chelsea is such a Tivo hoarder. Yesterday I was going through her DVR list and there was stuff from 2005 marked "save till manually erased"

My mom had to buy a second Tivo for her bedroom because her old one is still full of every sex and the city episode ever made. She's never going to watch 90% of them again but she's a Tivo hoarder.

Tivo Juice

When watching something pre-recorded on Tivo, or other related time shifting devices, the amount of time available to fast forward is the Tivo Juice.

I have an hour of Tivo Juice left to skip through the rest of the Super Bowl commercials.
