用法筆記

Frequently used in informal, everyday conversation about television viewing. Avoid in formal writing — use 'record' instead. The past-tense form 'tivoed' is standard, though 'TiVo'd' and 'TiVoed' also appear in informal writing.

'tivo' refers specifically to recording television programmes with a DVR device, not to capturing audio or video in general.
