   Funny how you get used to new things and soon take them for granted..   
      
   I had a minor disaster the other day when the recorder for my Satellite   
   TV service ate it's storage drive. What was really annoying is that   
   I had many hundreds of hours of recordings on it, mostly of shows I   
   hadn't seen yet. I collect them to use when the regular channels all   
   go into summer vacation with no new shows on.   
      
   A big part of getting used to it is, I record virtually everything   
   I watch, even if just to watch it an hour later, so that I can   
   jump over commercials and i.e. watch a 2 hour movie in 90 minutes.   
      
   Another thing I miss is the ability to 'rewind' even a live   
   show if I miss something and want to see or hear it repeated   
   or pause the show to read something they showed too briefly   
   in print to read properly.   
      
   Anyways, I should have a replacement unit by Monday (it blew   
   Wednesday night) and the new fall season is starting next week   
   so I should have more things to watch I haven't seen before.   
      
   Another help at this point is Rogers have added 4 feeds of the   
   Starz Network which show mostly older shows and lots of movies   
   all commercial free.   
      
   Tonight I watched Stephen King's Christine for the 2nd or 3rd   
   time and, another that's so well known I thought I must have   
   seen it at some point (but apparently hadn't)  The Notebook.
