Season 2 Premiere

[TinkTanker]

You folks and yer new fangled contrapsions...



I want one.

DVRs rock. You'll never watch TV the same way again.

The thing is, when I needed one years ago...they didn't exist...then, when I had the money to buy one (when they as yet were not invented) there wasn't enough on tv worth watching. Now, enough to have to juggle/choose/rewatch later via hulu/on demand....but NO MONEY!! *pout*

We get ours from the cable company. They cost less per month than the subscription service from Tivo, I can record two channels while watching something I recorded earlier, pause for up to an hour. Usually we pause a show for the first 15 minutes, do chores, fix dinner, whatever, pick up the show and zip through all the commercials.

I didn't think I'd EVER get one.  But our cable company provides the DVR (so I didn't have to go out and buy a TiVo) and they charge $15 a month.  I think that's about what you'd pay for TiVo service, but you have to buy the TiVo box, I believe.

Ours is $9.95. It is great having two cable companies in town competing for our entertainment dollars.

Hey, Phyll, got my 2nd DVR today!  Got it all hooked up.  Set to record T:SCC and a rerun of House (the 1st DVR is recording Chuck and Dancing w/the Stars for my girl).  Stupid remote is not working right but they said to take it by the office and get a new one.  We'll see how that works.  Our tv in the bedroom is ancient, so it probably won't work with the new remote but I'm used to that.

  I don't know how I lived without one all these years and now I have two. I kept the VCR
people in business though but it was always so annoying not to be able to tape more than
one show and if you had a cable box you never could use the VCR like it was meant to be
used by taping one show and watching another since with mine anyhow it would only tape
if the TV was set on that channel, so trying to record shows if you went on vacation was
a joke since you could only record one channel. I'll be interested to see if the channel thing
works for you. 

Nope.  It's the same as my other DVR.  If I'm recording 2 shows at once, I have to watch either one of the shows recording or something already on the DVR.

 I think my new one works like that to but for some reason the one we have down stairs doesn't. I must have an
odd one so I guess I better hold on to it for dear life.   How strange.

Yep.  Maybe it's a "triple-tuner" instead of dual??  That is strange.

I need to find places to cut back expenses...just can't be adding any right now.

  I didn't even know they were available until I saw the ad for it when I finally got around to watching Chuck last night.
I really love this show. I hope it lasts a long time.
