DVRs are awesome.

I got up to pee at 5:42am and I noticed that currently playing on the TV (I fell asleep with the History Channel playing in the background) was some show that was mentioning Thomas Cranmer and the Catholic Church and all of a sudden my ears perked up and I hit the "guide" button on my DirectTV console. It's a 2 hours documentary on the Protestant Reformation. Well, you know I'm just creaming my knickers with that, and on a lark I hit the "record" button and my DVR was able to "record" it back to it's beginning at 5am because it had already been on that channel! How awesome is that???

It's little shit like this that makes me a very happy woman. So now I'm awake and watching the show from the beginning.

I have had a TiVo for over 10 years now. First with DirectTV, when they used TiVo for their DVR, then onto a single tuner model for cable, and now a dual tuner model. I have it hacked up with 2 400gb drives. It can hold like 500 hours of TV. I love it, these things are a game changer. Just wait till we no longer need to "record" tv and everything we want will always be available at our fingertips. That is less then 10 years off. Liz loves the TiVo too.
