You should look into getting a Tivo -- it's a TV recording device that saves the info on a hard disk. Randomly accessible and menu driven. It actually uses the names of the programs (how inventive!), so you don't even have to know what time or what channel or anything like that! And if the show changes nights, Tivo changes also. Way cool! Used it to record all of the Tour de France bicycle race, which was on at really wierd times -- and different every day.
Hey, I'd love to get one of those, but the proce they carry is way too much for me. I've spent that much on a Elite Receiver, but that's it. Everything else in my stack is under $250. Hopefully some day their will be software so we can do exactly what the TIVO does, but on a computer. That would cost much less, and give me a good excuse to upgrademy "school" computer.
