Tivo

I forget what it was like before DVR. Recording shit on grainy VHS tapes sucked. Not being able to leave live tv until they "Let you" ... that sucked too. Now i can take the dog out or anything i want on "My" time and it is the best invention ever!

Also, we don't have to sit through commercials. I NEVER watch a TV program live. Most programs I watch a day or days later. I often have to tell people don't tell me what happened.

The same thing with sports. Last season I watched every Giants game on DVR. It was great skipping through all the commercials. It would take about 90 minutes to watch a complete game. The only problem was making sure I didn't hear the score.

Does anyone have this sassy device? I'm thinking about getting one and wondering the amount of time to install it. Do I just plug the cables here and there and I'm good to go or are there a lists of BS I have to deal with?

I mean no offense. I'm amazed that someone doesn't have a DVR let alone ask if anyone has this 'sassy device'. Who doesn't have a DVR. I've had a DVR type device for 6-8 years. My first was ReplayTV.

Nobody else finds this funny?

On a serious note- have it, love it, makes watching shows easier, never miss an episode, and is great for when you have to do something while a game you dont want to miss is on.

Was tired as shit on Sunday night. Watched the 1H of the Pack game, couldn't stay up for the 2H, DVRed it, and watched it in the morning, with no commercials or anything.

Worst thing is when you rent a damn movie on there and it only stays on your dvr for 24 hours now. I was wondering if you could record those with a DVD recorder hooked up to ones TV?

trust me monte i have tried over and over, every recorder i have tried has like an automatic don't copy scanner or some crap because it starts and then after 10 seconds it says disc not authorized.

i was trying to get fights recorded so i can break them down with much clearer picture, NOW EVERYONE HERE IS A LAUGH FOR YOU, i still use an old school VCR and i'm under 30 yrs old !

It may have something to do with the disc itself? If so then I bet theres a way around it with all of these hackers. I know people rent movies and make copies of them.

None taken, buddy. I don't watch enough TV to warrant having one... 'til now. I'm studying for my GMAT now and tend to miss the couple shows I do enjoy. So I thought, I record it and watch it when my brain turns into mush. Just in case...the shows I enjoy are Deadliest Catch, Locked up abroad, the ultimate fighter, and Man vs Food. I know you guys too well. If I left without saying what 'the couple shows' I watch...

And yes, I wrote SASSY DEVICE. Stop hating.

I love my DVR. Have only had it for about 6 months and frankly I have no clue why I waited so long to get it. Now I am so used to doing shit on my time I wouldnt know how to cope without it. A lot less things would get done thats for sure...

Business and Management degree?

MBA in Finance. I was thinking about getting a Masters in Accounting but I think I'll be a lil more rounded with an MBA.
