I bought an LG HDD/DVR (don't        >> remember the year) and it was great to "pause" OTA and come        >> back to the program later, and even skip the commercials.               RM> OTA as in by antenna? I'd recently heard that was coming back.              OTA == Over The Air. Yes.. analog specifically. Albiet OTA can        refer to digital broadcasts now, I guess.              We could get CBC, CTV and Global. The antenna has a rotor        (that has long since ceased up) ..but the East direction was        still pretty good for CBC and excellent for Global. Global was        the last hold out. When Global went off the air, I reverted to        DVDs or the things I could watch from collecting online - store        on a USB stick - and play them on modest media-play connected        to the TV.                     --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese (1:396/45.29)       SEEN-BY: 19/33 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 305 130/330       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307       SEEN-BY: 229/317 426 428 470 664 700 705 280/464 291/111 292/854 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 387/18 25 396/45 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/105 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 396/45 229/426           |
