I really only watch TV as and when it is on and half what I watch is live football from Europe.
Probably 30% is anyway.
Do you record something and then watch it later with the ads taken out?

With the exception of sports and news I timeshift everything - Wendell Narrod 07:46:44 12/25/08 (2)
else to watch at my convenience and fast forward through commercials. DVRs are great.

  Are there that many shows worth watching?
  I increasingly find myself in the same camp as those who say there is too much music/video/entertainment around.
  Do these recorders automatically edit the adverts or do you just fast forward through them?
  I totally agree that sports needs to be live.
  Luckily the Fox sports channels only have breaks at half time during soccer matches.
  - The original Replay recorder would edit out commercials - Wendell Narrod 13:57:50 12/25/08 (0)
    but the networks and advertisers insisted that feature be removed. You have to fast forward through them. As for enough to watch, I don't know.
    I'm more concerned about being able to watch when I want than volume of programming. Mine is never more than 30% full but I wouldn't do without it.
    DVRs, GPS systems and Cellphones are the most useful advancements I've encountered in the last 20 years.
