A DVR mishap

Tweet

I wasn't planning on binge watching Gilmore Girls but when I found out that there will be a bingeathon of Gilmore Girls and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on TV I got excited and decided I was gonna watch them all. I set my DVR to record both series in their entirety and made sure that it was set to record all episodes instead of only new ones otherwise nothing would record as episodes are not new. What I forgot about is the setting for how many episodes to keep. It was set to keep 15 instead of all of them, so a big chunk of episodes from season 1 and a few from season 2 that had recorded were deleted. Luckily, season 1 will re-air in December so I set those deleted episodes to record but the few missing episodes from season 2 are not yet showing up on TV at a later date. So, I won't be able to watch all of season 2 until those few episodes show up on TV again so I can record them. Or so I thought. Turns out that both of these shows are on Netflix. This means I can watch the missing episodes on my laptop and without having to wait for them to record or become available on TV again to record them. I prefer to watch stuff on TV as opposed to online on my laptop because the TV has a much bigger screen but I'm gonna watch those deleted episodes online instead of waiting for them to be available to watch on TV or my DVR. I will have to use hubby's laptop though as my laptop doesn't have an HDMI slot, at least not the one that will fit our HDMI wire. I hate when I screw up with the DVR recordings...
