What an interesting age we live in, a couple years ago just before Christmas, I noticed that my cable company (that shall be nameless) had combo cable box and DVR which I can tape two recordings including two digital channels and watch another pre-recorded program and the deal was for around $13-14 per month and nothing to purchase, so I figured why not get one. So basically up till now I have had my problems with it a couple of times, you know software deal and for one reason or another had to call tech support. Basically you can’t get really upset because if you have a problem, just bring it to one of there centers and exchange it free of charge, not bad and while you are out, get some other stuff done too.
But recently I have grown tired with it and although it works fine, I would like some upgrades, one being software and others including more tapings than 24 hours worth, something around 40-80 or bigger. So as it stands now, I am exploring the small options of something different and really there’s only one, Tivo… Let me get this straight, I can’t get away from at least $12.95 to $16.95 per month expense, plus I now would have to purchase a new box (ah… new box, what a concept…) and you have to get the dual tuner, so what is a person to do.
So what should I do considering I tape regularly and that includes two digital channels at once, well that puts the series2 DT out of reach, but that leaves either a Tivo HD or a Series3 with something called a cablecard, I wonder if that would be an option around Christmas? Wonder what that cablecard costs? As it stands for me right now, I am going to stick with my current cable DVR, but it would be nice to consider upgrading.
This all leads me to this question, Are you using a DVR and what type is it? Does anyone know what a cable card costs?
Now, I’ve been asked (by a posting on TVSquad.com), what do I have on my DVR?
That’s easy, it all depends on the day/week and season, but over all… Anything from Big Brother, Survivor, Burn Notice, Living with Ed, The Girls Next Door, Ice Road Truckers, Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill, a couple of Real Estate type shows, American Chopper, Overhaulin, NASCAR shows, Automotive show to movies that I taped off of movie channels. Like I said it all depends on the season, day and week.
How about everyone else, what’s on your DVR?
