I recorded 11 hours of programming Thursday. Is that insane?

You must prioritize.

Obviously, all the shows must be erased except for ER and SMALLVILLE.

There. Did that help?

 

E.R. includes guest appearances by Sean Young AND Andy Dick in the same episode.

If that isn't enough - there's perverse innuendo from Roseanne's middle daughter.

He definitely has to keep that one.

 

Almost as bad ( or good) as you, except, I don't tape Survivor,OC or Shark. I usually keep up with all the hour long dramas, but the Sitcoms get burned to DVD to watch during down time or during the summer

Actually I just started that practice this year. Only its in reverse, I am burning the dramas and watching the sitcoms.

Oh and yes, ER is a keeper. Smallville okay and Survivor - normally yes, but this season sucks so far.

 

Aah, we do wish Survivor was an HD program

But we would prolly just get HD blur-cams then

 

There's a reason I have three HR10-250s and one HR20. Each is dedicated to one of the major networks, with CW and others thrown into the mix where I have room.

It is still a struggle to watch it all, though. Only so many hours in a day!

 

It must be nice to live in the civilized part of the world. Here in Del Rio, TX Time Warner has always had a bias against Paramount! We never got the Paramount network and when WB and Paramount combined into the CW we got nothing. I'm looking forward to Net-Flixing this years episodes of Smallville & the Supernatural!

 

My recordings are pretty well spread out this season, at least for the moment...

Mon, 6 hours
Tue, 6 hours + 2 hours UK
Wed, 7:30 hours
Thu, 7 hours + 1 hour UK
Fri, 3 hours
Sun, 6 hours

I can't offhand think of any time that I've had 11 hours of recordings from recurring series recorded in one day, and probably not really even very close to that much!

 

You can always get Supernatural via Amazon Unbox directly to your TiVo soon, too. I'm not sure why Smallville isn't available that way yet.

 

Hey dswallow - what do you mean by + X hours UK?

Are you getting British programming somehow?

 

There's several UK series I grab regularly via Bittorrent downloads:

Shameless
Skins
Life on Mars
Torchwood
Doctor Who
Hustle
Hollyoaks

And one from Canada:

ReGenesis


(Not all are currently airing new episodes.)

 

Ohhhh! I see a Doctor Who fan here.

 

I always try to watch my hd recordings first. They take up A LOT of disk space.

11 hours of HD Programming in 1 day? Yikes.
I checked my to do lists for the coming week. I've got approx 4 hours every day with probably 4 1/2 on thursday. (not counting filler rerun stuff and kid's programming). I barely have time to keep up with these recordings. how you do 11 hours in 1 day is beyond me.

 

Well, as long as it's not 11 hours every day. If you have a day with none, and a day with 11, that's only 5.5 average. That's the nice thing about a Tivo; you can spread out your viewing, even it up, whatever.

Plus, there's the fact that 11 hours of broadcast is less than 8 hours of Tivo time. Even less if you just watch highlights of some shows.

But I think the way to look at it is: These are shows you can choose to watch, or not. If they scroll off, no big deal. Better to have too many (so you can always find something interesting to watch) than too few.

 

I guess I shouldn't talk.

I have 172 episodes of SpongeBob recorded. Along with the SpongeBob Movie.

 

I'm too lazy to drag out my spreadsheet but there are almost 70 active SPs over 2 HDtivos. We even record all SD stuff OTA so that counts as HD spacewise

Plus there are countless other events and W/L i dont even type out.

oh and speaking of sponge bob..I have virtually all burnt to dvd except the past few weeks worth

tivo is literally my 2nd job and i've even taken days off work in the past because of needing to watch stuff ...thats nuts

 

I'm guessing there's no drew2k Jr. running around the house. With a couple of kids, I can barely get to the six or seven hours a week I record. Most of the time, I way behind.
