After moving into our new apartment we had our cable put in. And one of our cable boxes…has DVR. Okay, so maybe you’re not as excited as I was, but c’mon! It’s great! Especially for anyone one with even a semi-busy schedule. Going to leave for work before your favorite morning news show is on? DVR it! Great cooking show on during the day that you don’t want to miss? DVR it! A show that’s on once a week that you always manage to forget about then kick yourself for it? DVR it!
It’s so convenient and easy that Mike and I find ourselves filling up our memory way too fast! It’s amazing to see a commercial for a show I’d like to watch later that night, go into the guide, hit record, and I can count on it being there to watch whenever I please!
It really reminds me of the days of recording things on VHS tapes with VCRs. Wow, I barely even think about tapes anymore! But I think everyone remembers what I’m talking about when I bring up putting tape over them to protect what’s on there.
Traveling back to 2009, what do you love? Head over to The Diaper Diaries for more Things I Love Thursday.
We don't have cable but I do love renting an entire television series on DVD and watching as many episodes as I want and not having to wait until the next week to see what is going to happen.
I loved my DVR when we had it. I never thought I could live without it and now we don't even have cable. Sigh… The Soup, Little People Big World, Project Runway… oh well…
Oh yeah, I DEFINITELY have a good collection of DVD series. I could sit and watch them non stop!
Oh I'm sorry to hear about your loss of DVR and cable! Do you Hulu at least?
