So, Brooke and I made the switch from basic (i.e. not digital) cable last week to DISH network. We’re getting a few less channels (about 65 channels total…) than we did, but we have their DVR service for $10 less per month, without having to pay for equipment or set-up.
So far, the service is pretty damned good. I’ve only noticed one time when the reception wavered a bit (watching “SVU” last night…), but it wasn’t that detrimental to my viewing experience. The DVR itself will record up to two things at once and has a 100 hour limit to what it can store, so we’ve got every show we regularly watch during the week programmed. Actually, we have it specifically set to only record new episodes, rather than all of them.
Overall, it’s pretty cool. Nice to not have to record everything to VCR…that, and I can now pause “The Daily Show” when I take a shower and come back to it when I’m ready…w00t! 😛
Welcome to two years ago Andy. Tivo basically completes my life. Pretty soon you will probably have an ipod too!
not even for the ipod’s usefullness, but he’ll just want to be as trendy as is possible.
Yes, DVRs are good.
Why do you have a picture of Nathan posing with a guitar as one of your header images? Are you that big of a fan or something?
First of all, Nathan’s responsible for the holocaust and may actually have no soul… Secondly, that’s a picture that Nathan took of Mike playing guitar, but yeah, I just thought it was a neat picture, and seeing as I like to play music, figured it’d be appropriate…
Just kidding, Nathan…about the holocaust part, at least… 😉
lol. holocaust, eh?
I’m glad you think my photo’s neat, I like it when my expensive equipment has some use.
