Tivo; DVR; HD-DVR's etc......the way we watch TV has changed forever. I used
to channel surf ALL of the time. Drove my wife nuts..Now, when I am in front
of my TV, I am actually watching something that I want to watch, when I want
to watch it..and without commercials. The TV world is finally paying
attention to the consumer, not the other way around. There will be a price
to pay.. (fewer commercials, less advertising; less money to put into the
shows; more product placements, etc. ) that is just evolution at work....

One better Rich, I have DVR service on my High Def cable box. Not only
does
it do what Tivo does (I'm an ex-Tivo subscriber) but it does it in HD
w/5.1
surround on select channels. Granted, the fishing shows aren't in HD, but
the movie and network channels are. And it's a few bucks cheaper than
Tivo
a month. Plus I don't have to use that god awful Tivo remote for surfing
anymore (too slow).

All the fishing shows are making me jones harder for a nice day on the
water. Where is spring already???

If you really.. really.. really..want to watch all of the fishing shows
that
you can stand ( and watch them when YOU want)..go to www.tivo.com. You
can
buy a refurbished TIVO 40 hour set for $49.00 (I think it is actually
$149.00 and you get a $100.00 rebate from TIVO). It will also cost you
about $13.00 a month forever..

.but............... you can set it to "catch" ANY and ALL fishing or
hunting or sewing or auto-repair or whatever.... shows ...........and
automatically record them. You watch them when you want. You will
never
ever go back to "normal TV" again. Oh yes..... and you can skip the
commercials, if you want, also.................. ( I now have two Tivos
in
the house and would not be without them.

Just came upon this awesome Bass bonanza a few weeks ago & (at least
until spring) I'm glued to my TV every Sat. morning. After football, TV
gets boring (don't much care for hoops, hockey or golf & absolutely
hate
hunting shows.) WOW!!! anything from a Bassin'' news show, to a
humorous
Bass show (loudmouth Bass) to a couple of Bassin' school shows
(including one where a student Basser fishes a lake & Denny Brauer
judges him on 5 aspects of his performance) & an intact FLW tour stop.
I
think I've died & gone to Bass heaven. It may be old hat to some of
you,
but it makes my saturday.
