Well, not the tyranny of TiVo specifically, but rather how the rise of the digital video recorder, in perfectly dialectical fashion, has resulted in people feeling both more and less in control of their television watching. On one hand DVRs let you take control of what you TV shows watch and when you watch them, but on the other it also creates a massive backlog of television shows that some people begin to feel buried underneath and that they have a frantic, desperate need to catch up on.
