Symptoms of Oldness
Sometimes, I'd rather not go out and see a great band or hoist a few with friends on various weeknights because I don't want to miss certain television programs. I'm either old, or so technologically bassackwards that I don't have a TiVo, or even that DVR the cable company will bring to your house, hook up for you and show you how to use for, like, seven extra bucks a month.
Or both.
Yeah, it's both. Shh, little lady, gampy's watchin' his stories. Because they're on right now, and I'll never be able to see 'em again, since we don't have any of them VCR tapes that don't have cherished episodes of Taxi and Cheers on 'em, and I can't figure out how to work the dadburn remote control anyways. Would you be a dear and get Gampy one of them there knitted blankets that are mostly holes? It's cold in here.
(Also, is it officially OK to use TiVo in the general, like Coke and Band-Aid and Jell-O? Discuss.)

TiVo'd and DVR'd are both acceptable verbs. Interchangable.
As for not having one, or a media center PC, or an AppleTV (since you'll own the overpriced shit they sell), I believe you should give up your TV life, and just watch reruns.
As a DEVOTED TiVo user, sure, it is absolutely ok to use it as a verb when talking about the less awesome cable-based dvr. Provided you capitalize the middle "V", which you did, so go for it.
And for the love! Shell out the $7 for the dvr! It's not gonna make or break ya, I'm sure.
