We just got my new pvr (personal Video recorder) system through our local satellite provider, Bell ExpressVu (model 9220).
This has totally changed the way that my wife and I watch tv. For those who don't yet know, a pvr (or dvr) allows you to record programs digitally. You can pause live tv, instant replay, and record future programs. The best feature of all is that you can fast forward commercials! A 1 hour program now takes us about 40minutes to watch, thus, freeing up valuable time.
We are also saving a shit-load of money on movie rentals. When we had regular cable, we would always see good movies playing on tv but we would refuse to watch them because of the lengthy commercials. We would instead rent movies a couple time a week. That adds up! I'm guessing we spent about $40/month on video rentals. Well, it's been 1 month and we've only rented 1 movie. Our PVR allows us to record the all movies that are on TV. We then can watch them whenever we want without the commercials.
