TiVo to go lets me port shows from my DVR to my iPod. Then, I can watch them on the train to work, in the airport and on flights. Most of the shows I like are dialog-driven, so the small screen doesn't matter. Trust me, Big Bang Theory is just as funny on a 2.5 inch screen (and according to Jim still isn't). Dragging out a bulky laptop or portable DVD player (plus the dvds) on my commute (where I often have to stand) wouldn't work. Since my phone does everything I used to need a laptop for, I can now travel much lighter while still drowning out the crying babies with some old Newsradio reruns.
