So, my household has acquired a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). The most popular and well-known DVR is, of course, TiVo, but that was a bit out of our budget. When my cable company began offering their own DVR for a few dollars a month, I decided I had to try it out.
Life will never be the same. Suddenly, hour programs can be watched in 40 minutes. I never have to watch crap I don't want to because there's nothing on. I can watch all the crap I like and have saved up. What's that? Queer Eye for the Straight Guy cast on Oprah while I'm at work? Not a problem. I am in TV heaven. Moreover, the machine can tape two things at once, or tape one thing while I watch another, thus eliminating unfortunate scheduling conflicts. Hooray, technology.
