We have a dedicated channel number on ours for satellite - doesn't
matter what satellite programme, same number. Unfortunately DS is inclined to change it if he's here for some reason. Its either A1 or A2 at the moment, so I have the present setting marked on the recorder (and I usually do a test run to make sure I've really remembered which it is!). Our TV is digital and the recorder isn't so the picture quality is a bit iffy. With all the new advances and changes coming (one big electrical store has already stopped selling Video recorders) we will save our pennies for a DVD (or whatever has superceded them!).-- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Sat, 08 Oct 2005 20:08:10 GMT, "Butterfly" wrote: Still use mine to tape Simply Quilts at eeek o'clock.

Our VCR has been banished to the playroom where the kids use it to watch
their videos. DH promised to transfer all my videos (Titanic, Lord of the Dance, etc) to DVD but hasn't as yet, so I too am banished to the playroom when I wish to be a "chick". We have a DVD recorder/player with hard drive in the lounge which tapes all those shows we like but can't possibly keep up with, for us, and then we watch them minus the ads (Gosh bless Fast Forward) when we get the time. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Butterfly" wrote in message ...

If you have TIVO, do you like it? Is it worth it? How hard is it to
hook it up? On Sat, 08 Oct 2005 21:14:28 GMT, "Calico" wrote: You don't by any chance have the Centennial series (12 tapes) do you? Linda, in PA "quilter" wrote in message roups.com...

We have Dishnet - same idea as Tivo, I guess. Do you need a dish installed
for Tivo? We have 2 dishes - 2 boxes & 2 TV's. I can't remember what life was like without prerecording my TV shows! Shameful, huh? The drawback is that so often, we'll be out & for some reason, someone will bring up a great commercial & ask if we've seen it - NOPE! We fast forward thru the ads! Sounds like some of the ads might be better than the shows!! Pauline "WitchyStitcher" wrote in message ... If you have TIVO, do you like it? Is it worth it? How hard is it to hook it up?

I have a DVR which is like TIVO, except that it is rented from the cable
company. The advantage over TIVO is that is most cases TIVO can only record one station at a time. The DVR can record 2. I really love it. I watch hour long talk shows in 20 minutes by FF-ing through the guests I am not interested in. The cable company hooks it up. Although after the Florida hurricanes last year I went to the company to exchange my box/ DVR and my 12 year old daughter hooked it up. WitchyStitcher wrote: If you have TIVO, do you like it?

Lynn (and everyone),
Your local library will welcome videotapes for the next booksale. Our in-the-lobby ongoing sale brings in upwards of $500 per month. (Proceeds from October will be sent to help restock/rebuild libraries in Louisiana.) Nann Official Librarian of RCTQ "quilter" wrote in message oups.com...

We are suppose to also.but it doesn't record on that channel so we are now
to 'hunt and peck'. Hopefully it WILL be the right one one of these days. Butterfly "Sally Swindells" wrote in message ...

We have a Tivo and can record two shows at the same time. You have to have
connection of 2 satellite inputs from a Direct Dual - LNB satellite dish. We have only a receiver on our bedroom TV and the Tivo connected to the TV in the living room. A few weeks ago we wanted to see a football game, but there were 2 shows on at the same time that we wanted to watch. So, we recorded the two shows & watched the football game on the TV in the bedroom! -- Donna in Idaho Website: www.LinusIdaho.org "Lisa McRoberts" wrote in message m...

Wait, wait, Nann. Mississippi was hit by the northeast quadrant of Katrina
for nearly 12 hours and most libraries suffered badly. Please remember them when you have your sale. Lots of them went under at least 3 to 30 feet of water. They need your help too.
