    Easy for me too,I hardly ever turrn the TV on anymore except for football.

    *high five* (except I have to go hunt someone elses TV down to watch football) :grumble:

    The way the Jets played last Sunday I wished I had left it turned off then too.

    I don't have a DVR so I'll keep my microwave. Although . . . if I gave up my microwave, I'd lose more weight. hmmmm NAH!! :bigsmile:

    I don't have a DVR - don't know what I'm missing I guess.

    I use my toaster oven way more than my microwave so I guess you can take the DVR and microwave too! :wink:

    DVR...don't have one anyway :happy: We wanted to get one but Directv charges way too much for High Def DVR. :grumble: It's like $300 (which you will not get back and you can't keep the equipment) and its a pretty high monthly fee too. So we decided against it. And once you have high def......you can't go back to regular picture either :laugh: :wink: So non-high def DVR is NOT an option :laugh:


    Kellch, here is what you do..

    Call DirecTV. Selected the "Cancel Service" option. When they ask you why you are cancelling, say "our local cable provider is providing free High Def DVRs". I promise you that you'll have your free DVR from DirecTV in a few days. Yes, there is a $10 monthy fee but you should never have to pay for the DVR itself. The key is to select the "Cancel Service" option. DO NOT SELECT THE "UPGRADE OPTION".

    very good thought there!

    UGH - what a horrible choice to make. I'd say give I'd give up the microwave and keep the DVR.

    We live too far out in the sticks to get cable, satellite ISP is costing us a gawd-awful amount each month without even THINKING about adding TV so a DVR, while a nice 21st. kind of century gadget to dream about would not be practical for our antenna TV and the 4-5 channels we can pull in, depending on the weather. With the prohibitive cost of propane these days, we try to use it as sparingly as possible, which means the stuff like the microwave, toaster oven, electric roaster, etc. are used on a daily basis (thank God for things like the monthly averaging plan on electricity) and the conventional cookstove gets lonesome :wink: No contest...............leave my microwave alone!!!!

    I would give up my DVR before my microwave! I have lived without the DVR and was FINE......yes annoyed at times but fine!

    I am pretty sure I would be MORE annoyed without a microwave, especially because I wouldn't be able to have my corn and black bean enchiladas from Trader Joes that go in the microwave!! :laugh:

    Well obviously I would give up my DVR since I don't have one. Plus I could never eat without my microwave oven!!!

    I really do want a DVR-I need to be taping Britney Spears on Good Morning America right now!
    Good thing I got my mom to. Now I just have to wait until Friday to watch it.

    Oh I saw that this morning. She looks AMAZING. My goodness....perfect body. I'm so jealous. Brit's back!

    I'm glad I'm not the only Britney fan on here! She is looking great these days-I'm so glad!

    She should be a member here. She can whip her body into shape faster than anyone I know. How many times have we seen her out of shape only to see her show up all buffed.. and pretty... and naked...

    Uh, 'cuse me. Be back in a minute.

    Max-I thought her nakedness had no effect on you!

    Go to abc.com & you can watch all the old episodes of Grey's, Lost, etc... unless they just recently got rid of that option.

    I don't have a DVR, but I don't have cable either. We are virtually living in a cave. :happy: Well, a cave with a laptop & high speed internet.

    Lucky you. We have dial up at our house. Thank Goodness for DSL at work.

    We FINALLY got rid of our dial up in August b/c my husband had to take an online class & it took waaaaaay too long to get his work done. Makes my life easier paying bills online & stuff, too. When I did work & had dial up, I was amazed at how fast internet could really move. LOL

    Thank God for Al Gore, right, Max? :laugh: :wink:

    I went to satellite for Internet two years ago as the old phone lines are so bad I could hardly connect at all and when i did was less then 12,000 kps.
    Have had DirecTV for over 10 years but question if it is worth the price for how much I watch it.
