It does happen to everyone. No, really. No need to be self-conscious.
Let us help you out. Missed an ep of something, Jossverse or otherwise? Ask here for help -- don't forget to include contact information, and come back and mention when you're no longer in need.
Natter will be summarily deleted.
I had two VCRs because without cable I needed to adjust the rabbit ears for different stations. So... two sets of rabbit ears and two VCRs let me record all my shows without fussing with the reception.
I still don't have cable, but I let Hulu do most of my recording now.
I had 2 VCRs because sometimes you were out of the house and needed to record 2 shows at once. I have the DVR for it now, but I also get attitude from the cable guys when I complain that the box that just died was 80-some percent full.
If they'd just make those basic DVRs with the capability to burn DVDs clearing my recordings would be a snap! Instead I tend to run at about 96% capacity and have to make a Sophie's choice whenever I want to record something.
Though I just found out that Galavant is now out on DVD, so that's several hours I'll be able to free up.
That you managed to hold on to Galavant that long impresses the heck out of me. Not only would I probably have lost it for space by now, I've also had, I think, 2 DVRs die on me since the last ep aired. (P.S. That DVD info is good info to have.)
And SERIOUSLY, how hard could it be to create DVRs with the capability to save to DVD/jumpdrive/something? The cable guys all insist on pointing out that they're not intended as storage devices; then why don't they give us the means to transfer to a long term storage medium?
It's possible that not recording that often due to the near-capacity backlog has extended the life of my DVR? At any rate, the Galavant episodes I managed to save are locked so they can only be deleted if I do it manually; now it'll fall to Agent Carter to be my most sacrosanct recordings.
Hey, PSA, for anyone who remembers The Sentinel from the 90s, that's finally out on DVD. The full run.
There's software that lets you offload TiVo recordings to your Mac/PC's hard drive.
Does it work for generic DVRs as well?
Does it work for generic DVRs as well?
If you are referring to my comment, no. Though I wouldn't be surprised if software for generic DVRs is out there as well.
Reviving this mostly dead thread with a very specific request.
I'm looking for a particular Buster Keaton DVD for my teaching, and one of the very few remaining copies apparently anywhere is being sold on eBay for a very reasonable CAN $8. Unfortunately, they are asking a very unreasonable CAN $57 for shipping to Germany, which pushes the whole thing over budget somewhat.
So my request is: would (ideally) a Canadian or (also good) USian Buffista be prepared to receive the disk and ship it on to me? Time is not an issue, but finances are. I can reimburse postage via PayPal.
My Keaton-deprived students and I would be extremely grateful!
