TiVo Syndrome

When someone who has a TiVo or DVR system tries fast-forwarding though live TV out of a habit of viewing recorded programs.

Some may pause during a commercial and try to blow some time so that they may eventually skip through commercials.

What's she doing?

Oh, she's got TiVo Syndrome. She thinks that everything is already pre-recorded.

Leaving the seat up on the TiVo

To leave the TV on a channel that annoys someone else in the house when turning off the TV.

I get SO mad when I see the Lifetime network everytime I turn the tv on. I started Leaving the seat up on the TiVo and changing the channel to NFL Network before I turn the TV off.
