   Howdy Mark,   
      
    HG> Here we call them VCR (Video Casette Recorder).    
      
   ml>just to be clear, those are the old tape storage formats... DVR is   
   ml>pure digital and stores the video data on a HD or solid state memory   
   ml>device... they require a computer of some kind to view the stored   
   ml>video...   
      
   Yes, correct. None of my TV sets have buolt-in DVR's but do have USB   
   sockets. One of them can record directly to a DVD disk and both can   
   record via the USB connector to a HD.   
      
   ml>the main additional desirable features offered were program listings   
   ml>like TV Guide(1) that carried and recognized a special encoded show   
   ml>numbering(2) so that one could tell the unit to record a show by its   
   ml>number and not worry about having to set the time for it to be   
   ml>recorded(3)...   
      
    HG> That number is printed along for every program that is listed in   
    HG> the weekly proram guide that is published weekly in our newspapers.   
      
   That number WAS printed in program guides published in our newspapers   
   but at a check yesterday I found out that they are gone. I may have   
   tried using that ShowView number a long time ago but nowadays I use the   
   times listed and normally don't record sources with much ads.   
      
   ml>because you are seeing them in print OR you are already paying to   
   ml>support them with your subscription to some pay service...   
      
   I saw them printed in the program listings in the pepers.   
      
   Cheers,   
      
   Holger
