If you don't have DVR or if you aren't familiar with it, let me explain. If you already have DVR, you probably know what I mean. DVR stands for "digital video recorder." It's a magical box that sits atop your television and records your favorite T.V. shows. DVR is so smart that you can tell it which shows you like and it will record them whenever they are shown on any channel on T.V. In other words, you come home from work or school or whatever productive activity you engage in during the day and DVR has all your favorite shows saved for you. You get to watch your favorite shows and you don't even have to watch the commercials. You can just fast-forward through them.
I'm sure this sounds lovely to you. You may be saying to yourself, "No commercials? Everything automatically saves itself? Sign me up!" That would be a mistake.
First of all, Comcast is going to charge you a ridiculous amount of money for the privilege of having access to their cable network and a little bit extra for the magical DVR box. They will then lure you into a "bundle package" at the end of which you will be paying like $99 for stuff you didn't think you needed.And the worst part is that you will forget about all the wonderful, creative, productive things you did before you got your first DVR hit. If it ever breaks you will go through DVR withdrawal for at least a month.
My wife and I have discovered "The King of Queens" and AMC movies. Last night I decided to tape Sahara because it was on TBS. Who would ever voluntarily watch Sahara? I don't know what came over me. It was free. All I had to do was press the little "record" button on my T.V. remote and DVR did the rest. I couldn't help myself.
If you are thinking about watching Sahara, I suggest that you visit the official Sahara website. Seriously, check it out. Are they serious? Do there have to be gunshot sound effects every time that I highlight a link on that stupid site? Who put up the money for this movie? Luckily they lost over $20 million.
Anyway, a person who is recording Sahara voluntarily has a sickness. Don't make the same mistake I did. Just say no to DVR.
