Re: How many of us use DVR's exclusively (no other receiver)?
I have 5 TV's but 2 HD-DVR's on 2 TV's. I've only used TWC DVR's so I can't compare it over Tivo. One Samsung 3270 in the other room hooked up to 20" SDTV but the main HDTV has a 8300HDC. The Samsung does have a 320 GB HDD  . I do enjoy having the DVR. 2 of the other TV's have Samsung 3260 HD boxes even though one of them is a 13" SD TV/VCR combo. I do agree that DVR is a great way to watch TV. Especially the ability to REW and FF live TV. I love to FF the commercials while watching recorded TV.

I have never used a DVR in my life. Last time I recorded a TV show I used a VCR and that was in around 1992. |

Re: How many of us use DVR's exclusively (no other receiver)?
We have two TVs in the house and both have had DVRs connected to them since 2002. Started off with the pathetic poor excuses for a DVR, Dish 501/508 then went with the DirecTiVo, then got a couple Explorer 8300HDs from Time Warner, I couldn't imagine watching TV without a DVR, seems so prehistoric. All VCRs were taken to down to the road for the garbagemen years ago. |

Well I only have one receiver though shared to three rooms.... but yes DISH was first 501, then 721, recently forced free swap to 522 DVR. (Though 522 seems more TIVO like than the 721.... but due tro that lawsuit) And though 522 is dual location capable... single person household so it is used exclusively in SINGLE mode, both tuners always available. (VS 2 single tuner DVR's in one box it is in DUAL output mode)

DVR spoiled too.
We will watch stuff occasionally OTA, but it really sucks not to be able to rewind or pause. |

We got 2 TiVos 6 years ago and have never watched a show in real time since.
Watching TV at my parent's house in real time is excruciating.
