You're a hoot! So glad to see you at the conference. Oh, and we checked about WOW.

We use WOW cable and have their DVR system which allows me up to 6 recordings at same time as long as I'm not watching TV (if I'm tying up a "slot" then it's 5). I rarely watch any TV live, it's all by DVR. Programs continue to make their corner ads bigger, but they're more an irritant than effective and eventually we too might very well go to Netflix or AmazonPrime, etc. just think how much more writing I'd be doing if I don't DVR. Dad hasn't had cable for months now and even when I'm there for several days, I don't miss it. I think TV should be worried about that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718264830458523250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-14421199100775104342015-05-28T17:19:05.189-04:002015-05-28T17:19:05.189-04:00My bad.

And, we already have the 360 hooked up at Netflix and Prime. Plus YouTube all on the XBOX. And, rentals from RedBox and online. So for us, we don't need to waste money one cable or rabbit ears.

BUT, we can watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on our big screen TV.

Also, sports, as you said (him, not me). We also have Netflix, which mostly my daughter uses, so if I wanted to binge on something, that would probably be my go-to. I do like some of the Discovery Channel stuff though, and not sure that's on Netflix. Good luck on the new DVR!Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-24256848755296527402015-05-27T10:07:20.234-04:002015-05-27T10:07:20.234-04:00Jeff - Netflix sounds intriguing, but I do love my...Jeff - Netflix sounds intriguing, but I do love my sports, one of the main reasons we still have cable.<br /><br />Beth - I can't stand commercials anymore. Much prefer to record and zip right through them! And then I also don't have to worry about being home when my show is on. Just have to make sure the stupid DVR is working is all!

It's kind of a pain - like when I'm in the writing groove and something is coming on, and I have to decide whether to miss the show or lose the groove.B.E.
