Funny how you get used to new things and soon take them for granted..

I had a minor disaster the other day when the recorder for my Satellite
TV service ate it's storage drive. What was really annoying is that
I had many hundreds of hours of recordings on it, mostly of shows I
hadn't seen yet. I collect them to use when the regular channels all
go into summer vacation with no new shows on.

A big part of getting used to it is, I record virtually everything
I watch, even if just to watch it an hour later, so that I can
jump over commercials and i.e. watch a 2 hour movie in 90 minutes.

Another thing I miss is the ability to 'rewind' even a live
show if I miss something and want to see or hear it repeated
or pause the show to read something they showed too briefly
in print to read properly.

Anyways, I should have a replacement unit by Monday (it blew
Wednesday night) and the new fall season is starting next week
so I should have more things to watch I haven't seen before.

Another help at this point is Rogers have added 4 feeds of the
Starz Network which show mostly older shows and lots of movies
all commercial free.

Tonight I watched Stephen King's Christine for the 2nd or 3rd
time and, another that's so well known I thought I must have
seen it at some point (but apparently hadn't)  The Notebook.
