fritz Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 "I have 3 letters for you D.V.R Tom " Yes, that is what I use, then watch the programs on slack periods. I don't know what I would do without the DVR upgrade with my DishNetwork subscription. I use the program guide and flip forword for about a week or so ahead, when I see something I want to watch, I put a timer on it. With a hundred hours of timer space before it resets, I sometimes have a backlog of programs to watch. I like the RFD Channel, with all the old tractors restored and paraded, also the Texas Country Reporter shows. The classic tractor shows got me into tractor restoring, and that takes a lot of my time now. It really gets annoying when it rains everytime I have parts ready to paint, like the entire tractor. Almost as annoying as having to wait a month to get parts from the "slow movers" warehouse, some come from England for my David Browns. I record the Guns & Ammo TV shows, but usually just fast-forward through them unless there is something that interests me. Same for the American Rifleman shows. The nice thing about using a DVR is that you can watch a program in half the time, after editing out the commercials. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to get the RFD Channel but when we switched providers it didn't have it offered. I miss that one. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
