lol, they should just make a VHS tape with a hard drive in it for old people
well its not so much that but once in a while the vcr gets set wrong or he forgets to turn the vcr off to enable the program to run.
this would be “easier” and much cooler.
Yeah def confirm it. But I’m talking about PCs with Windows Media Center installed. Media Center is 90% DVR software so I have no idea why it would be installed on a computer without a tuner. It would seem kinda pointless.
Yea I found out its pretty much pointless without a HDTV because the video cards cant support standard def resolutions.
the upstairs vcr broke last night so I’m sure he is going to buy a replacement soon. Time to think of other presents. Maybe something for the wood shop.
Easiest thing to do…
alright well I just had the discussion with him and he is satisified with watching horrible quality vhs’s and missing shows sometimes.
makes my life easier: golf stuff
lol gotta love dads…mine uses a dvd recorder rather than pay the 5/month for dvr
As JayS said your best easiest bet for something like this is either TV provider DVR service or a Tivo.
If your father is using SD TV still and has no plans for HD and is just getting the basic 1-99 type channels I have Series 2 Tivo Dual tuner that I got from a friend since he didn’t want it anymore that I’d sell ya if you didn’t mind it being used. Works fine.
I no idea what channels we get as I NEVER watch tv.
He regularly takes shows up to the bedroom to watch before bed so I think its a moot point without getting really far into it with the “networked” dvr deals.
Thanks for the offer though.
Time Warner is going to offer multiroom dvr shortly.
just about every provider offers that
No shit
just sayin’
Soon in TW terms is subjective 
and they never disclose the divisional roll-out plans. I will be curious as to weather TW whacks you a higher DVR fee for multi-room.
I actually know the answers to every comment you just made :lol:
lookback is coming shortly also
what about the older apple Tv
