Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

My household has just caught up with technology from 2004: we have a DVR.

Tired of seeing endless DirecTv commercials offering a free DVR receiver and three free months of HBO/Cinemax to new customers, my husband sent a cordial email to customer service, and within seven days we had a techinician in our living room. I guess it pays to send checks on time every month for five years!

We're recording more movies than we can possibly watch, and I have a real fear that we're going to use all 100 available hours of storage. Today's offerings from HBO/Cinemax being recorded for future viewing pleasure: Singles, The Notorious Bettie Page, and Drop Dead Fred.
