how do people with TV's live...

[nageov3t]

so I'm house sitting for my parents for the next two weeks... sitting in the living room watching Eureke tonight, and woops, suddenly I've got to go to the bathroom.

so I hit the pause button and... nothing happens :| I mash the pause button furiously only to remember that my parents don't have a pvr. so I had to suck it up and wait till a commercial break. what the hell.

not being able to pause live tv is for the birds.

yea i've gotten used to it too.. thus why when i leave the comfort of my dvr cable box.. the dvr computer i've been customizing will be traveling with me to my dorm.

I download what I watch which is only a couple of shows

OMG, you actually had to hold it in for 3 or 4 minutes?? Wow, if you ever decide to, say, go on a trip longer than 30 minutes in a car, you better bring a bedpan or something.

 

[Baked]

I don't watch TV.

 

[neutralizer]

This PVR thing is intriguing... maybe I should try it out.

 

[Dacalo]

I don't have cable nor satellite.

The only time I watch TV is for certain sports.

 

[monk3y]

I don't watch enough TV to need it.

 

[RossMAN]

Eureka nice show

 

[kranky]

I hardly watch TV, so I don't miss not having a PVR. If I have time and a show I want to watch is on, I'll watch it. If I don't have time, oh well.

I have PVR and I never use it.

 

[Feldenak]

I get along fine without a PVR.

Most likely those people still have VCR and cassette tapes.

WTF? I always go to the bathroom in a commercial break. What do you do when you go to the movies? :laugh:

my logitech harmony remote has a "Watch PVR" activity.....i always referred to the devices as DVRs. does the 'P' denote "PICTURE" instead of "DIGITAL"?

it's the principle of the thing... I mean, isn't the ability to pause live tv in the bill of rights or something?
