Is DVR really worth it?

I know just about everyone seems to love having DVR, but I HATE the thought of giving Cablevision another penny! Chat Icon

worth the extra $10 a month?

Best $10 we spend a month! Chat Icon

Seriously, I adore it. It is so easy, and we have it set to record so many shows every time they play a new episode. So we can tape the Lost episode, then watch it later and scan through commercials!

Or start every show 10 or 15 mins late and scan through commercials!

Re: Is DVR really worth it?

Yes...We had Tivo previously and we have it through Cablevision now. You can record one show and watch another show at the same time. Or even record two seperate shows at the same time. Once you have it you will definately enjoy it IMO.

Re: Is DVR really worth it?

Hands down, yes. I spent 2 years trying to convince my DH to get it because I was tired of VCR'ing stuff. He finally agreed and we will never go back! Chat Icon

I agree. I dont really watch *that* much TV, but I love having the ability to record anything anytime.

It is definitely worth it IMO.

Re: Is DVR really worth it?

I JUST got Cablevision and DVR on Saturday and I must say, I LOVE the pause function!!! I never get to sit and watch a whole show without 20 interruptions. Now I just pause the show, do what I have to do and come back to unpause...never miss a beat!

I still have to read the book though cause I'm sure there's a million new things I can do now with DVR. I must learn! Chat Icon

We have two because the one in the living room gets filled up in the heat of tv season, so we have a backup in the bedroom.

I don't pay anything per month for it. We got it for free for a year.

I can't imagine life without it!!!

I agree, we actually have both TIVO (it was a gift) and the Cablevision DVR and we love both of them. I can't remember what life was like without it now!
