I decided today that a dvd recorder would be nice to have in the living room. Yes we have Tivo, but I can’t keep stuff on there forever. I had something saved once that deleted after about 14 months. I now have Hinder footage in there that I want to get off onto another form of media because I’m afraid I’m going to lose it. So. Do any of you have a dvd recorder? Have you experienced any problems with recording tv shows or movies? Any tips? I’d like to move some stuff onto dvd for future viewing. I’m not sure what the recorder would cost I haven’t started research or pricing yet. I’m still in the realization stage of the purchase process. The next step is to “help” hubby realize we need one too. Then comes the pricing, which I’m usually good at because I wait until I find a great deal or a coupon. I love to use coupons. (I found some Shutterfly coupons today, just click if you’re interested. They do a nice job.) Sometimes I research pricing for weeks until I’m ready to buy. It’s sort of my ocd.

With all the great gifts we all got for Christmas, everybody seems to be competing to use the big television. My oldest son always asks to use the big tv, but now that he got a wii for Christmas he’s dying to try it out on the big screen. He also got the 2nd Harry potter dvd game. All four of us got dvds. My son received The marine and my hubby received License To Wed. I received some Nascar dvds and a Nascar dvd board game. My youngest son got 2 Thomas the Train dvds, a Bob the Builder dvd and a Wiggles dvd. We’ll have to work this ou or create a waiting list for the tv. I call first dibs!

Let me start by sharing with you shows I currently watch every week. I have a season pass set up on our living room Tivo for most if not all of them. Tivo’s season pass allows the viewer to schedule all or just some episodes of a tv series. This list doesn’t include what we watch occasionally, anything we watch on a whim , movies or news - it’s just current recurring series.
Soaps. I only watch ABC soaps. All My Children, One Life To Live and General Hospital.
Comedy. Til Death.
Drama. Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order Criminal Intent, ER.
I just started watching these shows this season. Some are new, one is not. Two and a Half Men, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl, Dirty Sexy Money, Big Love, Burn Notice, The Dead Zone.
