[VOOM] Re: Thanks for all the reasons to have a DVR! Still not sure we need...

Nothing to do with kids.... Apart from timeshifting, a DVR makes
watching live TV a much better experience: if the phone rings, you can
pause, take the call, then finish whatever you are watching. If you
didn't hear something, you can go back a few seconds and hear it
again. If you wanted to show something to your wife, but she stepped
out of the room at the time, just rewind when she gets back. The
possibilities are endless

Once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever watched TV without it.

I was watching Boston Legal in HD at 6pm yesterday and thought about this
thread. You're right... it has nothing at all to do with kids. Kids was just
1 example of many given. Last night I recorded the 2nd night of 2hrs of "24"
and at the same time recorded Extreme Makeover Home Edition "How'd they do
that" as well as Everybody loves Raymond and two & half men. Then at 9pm I
recorded CSI Miami and the new soon to be cult favorite "Medium". That's a
lot of good tv that without DVR only 1/2 or less than 1/2 would be able to
be watched. I especially like 1/2 sitcoms because minus commercials which I
skip past, they are only 17 mins. 17 minutes!.. I can easily watch one or 2
of them during lunch. I'll watch Medium after I get home and before
tonight's primetime tv. My daughter also has a dvr and she gets to record
her soaps and watch them later. Can't do that without dvr. The bottom line
is DVR, .. originally TIVO, changes the way you watch tv and when you watch
it. It's one of those things that you don't know what you're missing until
you have it but once you get it, you can't live without it. It is the reason
I dropped Voom but will be going back to Voom as soon as they release their
whole house DVR solution.
