I got a DVR when I signed up for the dish. I love it, because it gives me the ability to record all my favorite television events and then watch them at my convenient time. Do you have one?

I really do like it. I love being able to fast forward through commercials. I also like that I can record shows that are on after my bedtime :)

But im wondering what If you are playing at the time of the show or have to go out? Do you just miss it? Are you one of those people that just views what ever is on?

Yes, I have one and I like it because even if I forget that my favorite show is on the DVR remembers for me. I also like it because it allows me to have a life apart from the TV. Remember when we all had to schedule our lives around our favorite programs? When I was a kid it was the Cosby Show. You could never do anything on Thursday night because of Cosby. Now I have the DVR and this doesn't happen. I can go out and have a life, do work, or activism or whatever matters to me and still have my favorite shows waiting for me when I come back. This is especially helpful during the Beijing Olympics because many of the sessions I want to see are on at 5 in the morning or other ridiculous hours. I just tell the DVR to record it and watch it when I wake up. This conveniently enhanced my enjoyment of the Olympics.

I don't have a DVR but I would really like to get one. I'm thinking about getting Tivo soon. Then I can record my favorite shows and watch them when I can't sleep at night.
