Damn thats pretty stricked, 9 months a year with no T.V

I rent a series usually.. it is in it's second or third season by then. If there is a specific tv show that I know about that is coming on... rare... I record it on a DVD-Rw disc and watch it when I have time.

mostly I watch movies.. some series.. never news unless it is a world shattering event or major election.. then I switch between cnn and fox.

In a pair of loose fitting jogging shorts and running shoes. Most times I can see the entire T.V. depending on the gap between the curtains.
During commercials I spend most of the time looking over my shoulders through the bushes to make sure the Police are not coming.

a dvr / tivo gives you at least 20 minutes of your life back per hour of tv viewing as you ff thru the commercials

Yep, DVR forever. Rarely watch live anymore.

I record the shows I want to watch on windows media center and usually watch them in a little window at the top corner while I surf the 'net or work on the comp.

The only reason I even own a seperate TV is for the occasional playstation kick.

I've found the only real drawback is that it makes it hard to recommend shows to people. I couldn't tell you what channel most of the stuff we watch is on, hell I've lost track of what days most of them air on. The other problem, if you can call it that is you miss announcements of upcoming shows since you all but stop watching commercials.

My favorite feature is the wish list, we add obscure/old stuff all the time and it's a bit like Christmas morning when you look at your saved programs and find a gem you haven't seen in years got recorded got recorded when you weren't looking.

Dont have to worry about it. All the channels except one has the commercials before and after the shows. I see them when they air unless i have some reason for recording it.
