that stands for personal video recorder if you didn't know. Does anyone else have this? it's just increased my addiction to T.V. I can tape 40 hours worth of stuff and watch it whenever I want.

 

I don't like it, though.because I know I can fast forward I get really impatient when the play is slow and all I can think about is fastforwarding, even inbetween whistles. I fast forward until a goal is scored, watch it, then keep fast forwarding. it's sad.

i got the new bell expressvu dual tuner hd/pvr about a month ago (you can record two different shows at the same time while watching a third recorded show).... i've found myself doing the same as you, but also scanning through the guide days in advance and recording everything and anything of interest to me.

i work for a cable company (time warner cable,i n the US) and they have DVR... digital video recorder. it sounds really problematic; i get a lot of people saying it fucks up their cable in general.

 

it sound like a neat idea, but they're charging like $20 a month in the states for DVR (i have no idea what it is here because i think TV is silly) and that's WAY too much money in my opinion.

or you can buy it outright for like $500. i had a dealer account with bell and i somehow got it for free from my rep.

[manfromharoldwood]

yeah, they don't even have an option to buy it from time warner. because that would save the customer too much money...

;)

on that same token though, $20 into $500 is 25 months, and there will likely be something better to replace it in 2 years.

I can get it through my cable company for $8 a month. Or I could buy a Tivo for like $200 and spend $9.99 a month for service.
