How Do people Live Without Tivo/DVR?

06-01-2007, 12:27 PM

I've become absolutely addicted to DVR. I can barely remember TV schedules anymore because of it.

It's great because there's nothing like finally getting to watch the latest episode of Scrubs on a Saturday afternoon or recording something, going out and having a life, then coming back to watch a couple TV shows.

Not to mention the pause/rewind feature....

The downside of DVR addiction...I have a shitload of shows recorded that I haven't gotten around to watching yet.

No shit. Without a DVR I don't think i'd watch any TV besides football. I'm never in the mood to watch tv when the shows I like are on. Hell, they seem to be on at the same time anyway.

I love them .. I have Tivo downstairs and a HD DVR in my office from the cable company. the one from the cable company is better then the tivo because it can record 2 programs at once while i watch another. I like the Tivo Menu better but the extra tuners in the cable box makes up for the not so nice menu. I'll be putting the cable DVR's on all the HD tv's in my house. 2 42" plasma's and 2 32" LCD's .. it's custom TV .. it's the best

I use the DVR service through Cox Cable, it's only like an extra 10-12 bucks a month.

I would love to have dual tuners in it though...

My DVR was acting up on me and freezing for the past two weeks. I finally got my new unit yesterday and need to replace the old one. Having a DVR and then not having one is like going back to 14.4 dialup from a DSL connection...

Totally agree. I got Tivo a couple years ago when I was working from 2pm-11pm so I could record all the prime time shows I was missing but I never liked how you couldn't record a show but still watch something else. I just got a new 37" Panasonic Plasma HDTV a couple weeks ago and got the HD-DVR from the cable company and it rocks but like you said the menu is pretty basic and not as easy to navigate as the Tivo but the other features make up for it.

um, jesus, when did you have tivo last? 2001?

you can record two shows at the same time AND watch something from your list

and the features on the tivo WAY overshadow the cable companies dvr's

in FACT, a LOT of cable companies just signed a deal with TIVO to start distributing tivo instead of that crappy dvr they offer....too many people love tivo, but no major companies are offering it anymore becuase they thought they could pull it off themselves, but they didn't really realize how insanely advanced the tivo software is....but they are realizing it now as all the complaints come in

for now you would have to order a directv tivo unit from somewhere other than directv, because they cancelled their deal with tivo but still allow people to subscribe through them

BUT, that is changing and tivo is working out a new deal with directv and releasing another directivo unit soon, thank god!

Never had it... never tried it... haven't even seen one.

I don't really watch television. I catch what ever I need to see online and that's enough for me.

I'm generally too busy to sit and watch the boob tube.

TIVO/DVR is the best thing since the cheese slicer...

Ah, in that case I'll stick with Cox, hehe

I haven't had any actual problems with it yet (unlike their On Demand service, ugh)

I don't have cable

A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

i don't see how anyone in the world can stand cable, it is so high priced and just not good at all

with my directv we get like 250 channels, dual tuner tivo AND xm radio all for under $50

I have hooked my computer to the TV... now I can watch shows/movies and be on the computer at the same time. And best of all it was bloody cheap (beside the TV) - only need a cable from the computer, and a wireless keybord + mouse

I rarely watch TV. When I do it's usually what ever is on the History channel.

I do watch scrubs, but I buy the DVD. Not much else.

It's funny hearing everyone talk about "Heros" and "Lost" and I have no idea what they are even about.

I bought the Tivo II when it first came out. I was just happy i could network it to my wireless at the time. The software is so much better but with the Cable box i can upgrade whenever i want ( i don't own it) and it's billed right into my cable bill. It's also one less component i have to have hooked up and records the HD really nice. I'm not sure how the new Tivo's work but I also hated having the little wires that would relay the channel changing on the Tivo. You have to remember that I don't have Direct TV i have Cable so it's not built into the receiver ..

I have been asking myself the same question since getting it 6 months ago.

I actually waste less time moving my schedule around and rushing around now and can just enjoy my shows without commercials. Also 'pause' is nice... hehe
