[N 82 50 24]

This is a typical cable DVRer outlook. Just FYI, it really isn't close to the same thing.

(7:36:09 PM) shaniac: what makes tivo so much better than a regular dvr?
(7:36:18 PM) GIFAFI: scheduling
(7:36:23 PM) GIFAFI: looking up programs
(7:36:29 PM) GIFAFI: flexibility of season pass
(7:36:36 PM) GIFAFI: ease of navigation
(7:36:42 PM) GIFAFI: on screen guide
(7:36:50 PM) shaniac: what is a season pass?
(7:37:02 PM) GIFAFI: repeated recordings of the same show
(7:37:16 PM) GIFAFI: cable dvrs have them, but they're harder to set up and manage
(7:37:25 PM) GIFAFI: and they don't really work correctly
(7:37:37 PM) GIFAFI: plus the comcast dvr is slow and clumsy
(7:37:43 PM) GIFAFI: fast forwarding sucks
(7:37:52 PM) GIFAFI: you need to rewind in order to jump back
(7:37:57 PM) GIFAFI: i have no idea how to play something slowly
(7:37:59 PM) GIFAFI: etc
(7:38:02 PM) GIFAFI: it's just awful
(7:38:20 PM) GIFAFI: it doesn't hold much recording
(7:38:26 PM) GIFAFI: it can't be expanded
(7:38:33 PM) GIFAFI: i could go on for days i think
(7:38:49 PM) shaniac: lol yes you seem impassioned on the issue
(7:38:57 PM) GIFAFI: agreed
(7:39:07 PM) GIFAFI: i just can't stand cable dvr donks
(7:39:23 PM) shaniac: had no idea really, was satisfied with my cable dvr assuming it was the same as tivo
(7:39:26 PM) GIFAFI: they're kinda like the people who insist that the paradise client runs better than the stars client
(7:39:37 PM) GIFAFI: which puts me on tilt
(7:39:57 PM) shaniac: lol gotcha...
(7:40:07 PM) GIFAFI: i'm about 100% sure that you would love tivo if you bought it
(7:40:17 PM) GIFAFI: and you'd never go back to cable dvr
(7:40:23 PM) shaniac: just there was never anything impelling me to buy it, since the cable company provides what I had assumed was the same thing
(7:40:30 PM) GIFAFI: not even close
