For a few days this week, I actually had to watch tv the old fashioned way. Sans DVR. It was a terrible experience that I hope never to have to go through again.
At this point, I'm convinced that the DVR is the greatest TV invention since the remote. It truly is one of those things that once you have used one, you can never go back. The ability to have all the shows that I care about automatically taped without my interaction and then being able to watch them at my leisure along with the ability to pause a show I'm watching in order to get the clothes out of the drier or talk one of the kids back into their bed is priceless.
I found myself hurrying to get the kids to bed before the 8 o'clock shows started and missing important parts of my shows due to the inability to pause them to deal with other things. It was terrible.
I feel bad for those of you who may still be stuck in the TV dark ages, but soon, like others before you, you will get the newest requirement to life. First their was running water, then electricity, then the phone, and now DVR.
Join us, and be amazed...you will never go back.
