Nicole has realized that though DVR is a magical invention that she is ever so thankful for, it has created some annoying habits. For one, she overloads. Because she knows she can just record shows and not have to watch them exactly when they’re on, she just records every show she wants to see during the week. But then the week ends and she finds herself with tons of shows to catch up on.
Then there’s overriding. Nicole will sometimes come home and want to watch a show she recorded, but can’t because her boyfriend has written over one of her shows with one of his own. Nicole isn’t the only one with some annoying DVR habits. Rich is a “pauser” and “commentator.” He’ll be watching a show with his fiance and pause every two minutes to review what just happened and comment on it.
Are you or anyone you know guilty of these DVR habits? Do you know any other annoying habits that have come from DVR?
i am just like nicole… i have two dvr’s just so i can record all the shows i want to see… then, i play catch up on the weekends… it is sooo stressful!!! (but kinda fun at the same time…)
Guilty. I record a lot of shows through the week (since I work during the day and go to school at night) and my husband cannot watch a darn show because two shows are recording at once! Lol.
My dad is like Rich. He has to make sure that everyone in the room understands exactly what just happened as HE interpretted it. He also gets all upset when we talk while the show is on, especially if its a football game (whih I totally understand). But then he won’t delete shows after he watches them. He assumes that everyone in the house wants to watch them so he leaves them there and gets mad when we don’t delete them because we don’t know if he watched it or not.
My boyfriend is so bad! He records movie after movie after movie! And so then when I want to record a show, he’s already got the timer set for some random, out there movie that no one has heard of. Sometimes I’ll delete it but really, who needs that many crumby movies?
I would have this problem but I dont have a “PVR” persay I have the HD box that I made into a PVR by putting a external HDD in the usb slot.. So I pay less and have 1TB of space for my shows
My parents and brother DVR.. EVERYTHING.. I am pretty sure we have at least 30 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, NCIS, Dr.OZ, Law & Order, Criminal Minds, Biggest Loser, and The Bachelor on our recodings! At least mom is pretty decent about deleting what she’s watched! Lol. Wish I could say the same for my dad and brother! Lol.
