I remember buying a new TiVo in 2008ish and having to download the schedule manually and import it until I was able to hack it to use a wireless adapter.

It reminds of boomers who were part of the computer science world in the 70s and 80s and thinking we still use punch cards and 8" floppies. They were ahead of their peers, but got stuck there.
