Boy, are you ready for TiVo! I already have a DVR. Not TiVo brand. Panasonic. Does the same thing but without monthly subscription fee. The TV schedule comes from the cable. The reason I have such a complicated setup is that there are about a dozen TV series I like to watch but they're all on at the same time. That's an exaggeration, but not by much. Everything seems to be on at ten o'clock a few nights a week. I've had as many as six shows show up at the same time. I also have a second TV with a VCR in another room I can use if pressed but I'm usually too lazy to climb the spiral staircase to get to it. <g>

Here's something I happened upon earlier today. Now this will take care of my TV scheduling problems. In spades. "Brits develop PromiseTV Posted Aug 8, 2005, 7:43 PM ET by Jen Segrest Filed under: DVR, Industry, Programming, Cable/Satellite Ever wish your DVR recorded more than two channels at once? I never knew what a huge quandry that was until I got my Tivo. Evidentally the Brits want it too as I guess there is a dire need to record the Snooker matches on all four broadcast network channels at once. Promise TV is a product in the making at the BBC labs in the UK. It will record every channel at once, not just the two that Tivo and other DVR's can do presently. To be fair the UK only has 12 channels total on thier satellite system. If they could get it to record 120 channels at once that would be getting somewhere. (Of course, if they could get more than 12 channels in the UK I'd move there in a second.)" tvsquad.com
