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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey, PSA, for anyone who remembers The Sentinel from the 90s, that's finally out on DVD. The full run.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There's software that lets you offload TiVo recordings to your Mac/PC's hard drive.

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!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If no Canadians step up I can do it, Fiona.

hip deep in pie

I'm in Canada, and I'd be happy to do it, Fiona. ETA: My profile address is good.

Thank you both so much! Sue, I have emailed you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Was gonna offer, Fiona, till I saw Sue had your back. How much glee do I have that this thread is still of use!
