I cant believe this week, I actually had someone so lazy to ask what a DVR was, I gave them a link and they were too lazy to click on it. Everyone that can manage to get online should know what one is by now. Its a life saver so you don't miss any shows. We have went through Tivo, some crap thing we ordered off Ebay and now have Dish Networks. I just spent a ton of time this evening zoning out to Chuck & Heroes. I still cant believe I managed to watch 2 shows on the day they aired. I love my DVR, you can steal many things from me, but you touch my DVR or my 60" your walking out with some broken fingers.

hmm, i love my Media Center PC so much i wish i could afford another tuner and another cable box, the stuff i record is beginning to have lots of conflictions with the new season of TV shows starting this week

i really do love my TV Tuner

i dont have a 60" tv, but get this my friend, went out and bought a 60" sony WEGA LCD tv brand new like last year, then he refused to get cable, he said he could watch tv through the internet, then he just got his internet disconnected because he had a lack of will power and wasnt getting anything done, so now he has a really nice 60" TV and nothing to play on it, not even a game system, i keep telling him i am going to steal it

Yea I love my LCD screen we also used to have one of those old big screen T.V.s that used the color tubes but one of the tubes went out so we just trashed it.

DVR rocks! I lived without one for too long! I just recently got one, and I guarantee you, that I will never live without one again. I will go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that I have a DVR. I'll even forego meals.... Well, I don't know about that, but you get the idea.

Ahh yes, being able to skip commercials, and being able to pause live TV. There's nothing better. My parents don't have a DVR and when someone calls, they end up missing a lot of the show they were watching. I couldn't stand that.
