Ok I get it. The good old days. Remember when you could flip the channels at the top of the hour to find a show and still catch the beginning of TBS that started at 5 minutes after the hour?

Most every dvr records live tv as its playing so you can pause it, rewind, etc.

Next time you just turn on the tv to watch a show, try pressing pause.

Then go do some review stuff (like how about the Cary caa1 amp I am interested in no reviews on it) or place a phone call or fix some dinner.

If you can kill about 10-15 minutes you can just start watching and skip through all the commercials pretty much right up until the end.

But if you flip the channel you are screwed as the recorded part is erased, and the new channel is recorded.
