whose your cable through? Are you using a digital cable box? Can you get one with a dvr? That's what we did. not as fancy as tivo, but gets the job done. don't have to pay anything extra for ...

we do have optimum. We could get a cable box with DVR but that's the same $10/month that I was trying to avoid. Also, if you ever upgrade your box, what happens to all the stuff you have on your box? Can you take your stuff off and put it on a PC?

I haven't messed around with the box enough, but that seems to be a major negative point, all that stuff is just there on the box, can't really go anywhere else.

yeah, that would suck in a bad power failure i think

Do you plan on keeping a lot of shows saved on your DVR?

superhero superheroOG 2004

hmm. I'd like to at least keep it on my portable USB hard drive. Burning something to DVD every time I want to keep it seems silly. But yeah I'd want to keep stuff, movies or specials or whatever.

Right now i'm super into Dateline "to catch a predator" along with the rest of lauren's family. (I cant' wait to see what this does to the ads along the sidebar now.)

And what about HD? Do you care about that?

superhero superheroOG 2004

no we don't have an HD TV. I'm interested in it but not enough to spend money on a new TV anytime soon.
