Does anyone else DVR? There are just some thing about which I do not care, and I find the ability to DVR wonderful.

I also DVR things. I record so many things this fall I can't keep count. Some of the new programming and, of course, the old. Then, I can't live without Poldark. It always helps if I'm not home.

No we do not DVR. When I worked, I found I had too much to watch and left no time for anything else.

I think it’s great for others but didn’t work for me.

I actually have two DVRs—one for over-the-air programming and one that's part of my streaming service (tomorrow is my fourth anniversary since cutting the cable cord; I've saved tons of money while missing only my sports programming). If I didn't have DVRs, I'd probably only watch a couple of hours of TV or movies each week due to my hectic schedule. I love the convenience of watching something exactly when I want to watch it, and I also love not having to miss out on things or watch them on a little computer or device monitor instead of my nice TV.

I got my DVR when I was working and couldn't stay up to watch programsthat I liked. I use it now to enjoy shows when I want to and not the network schedule.

I am fast learning how to become the DVR Queen...I was going to get rid of my DVR's and discovered they were handy and that I liked the process. I use to tape shows and would miss episodes because of timing or the tape would end/run out. The hubby loves it and can schedule his shows from his phone. I love it because I can schedule from my tablet if I can't make it home in time to watch. It also helps when binge watchingI may need an DVR intervention!

I wasn't clear in my original post. I meant DVR QVC. I do DVR other programs, but I DVR QVC. Then, when there is a product in which I'm not intersted, we skip through it. I like the presentations, especially the kitchen ones, because I often learn tips. But, not at all interested in air fryers. At all. So, when they have one, which seems like every day, I skip through it.

We went to streaming. Alltice is the exact same service as Optimum. We switched because we were told there would be a lower rate, and when there was not, I complained, and we got the lowr rate. Apparently, someone called peole and made offers for a lower price that weren't true.

@StuckinNJ I just review "items recently aired" and if I see something interesting, I watch its video.

@loriqvcI thought I could only have DVR if I had cable.

I haven't had cable for 3 years.

You have DVR, but no cable?

Re: DVR

sunshine45 — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 00:39:42 GMT

i just go back and review the video if i need to.

StuckinNJ — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 01:13:14 GMT

@Dusty1 We have Alltice, the streaming version of Optimum Cable, and we have DVR.

SeaMaiden — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 01:19:23 GMT

No, never had a DVR. I pay so much for cable boxes already with Comcast, I just do not want to pay for it.

I guess it is like anything....if you do not have it you do not miss it. I miss seeing a lot of my favorite shows all the time when they come on at the same time, or on too late etc. I suppose if I had a DVR, I would wonder how I lived without it!

@Dusty1 - Yes, I have a DVR connected to an antenna that allows me to record over-the-air shows, and I use the Sling streaming service with DVR for the channels that one would typically pay for through a cable TV provider (it has amazing capabilities such as the option to record dozens of shows at once as long as you have space in your DVR). If you're interested in more information about either option, I'm happy to share.

@Kachina624 and @StuckinNJ

I also rarely use my DVR for QVC; it is much easier to just watch individual videos online if I'm truly interested in a specific product rather than sitting through a show full of things I couldn't care less about.

However, I do often use the DVR for special jewelry presentations, as I find it much easier to really see the details on my big TV instead of on a computer or device monitor—plus you cannot pause the Q videos without the screen darkening and the big play button covering the screen (my biggest pet peeve with the website despite its numerous other flaws).

@StuckinNJ

No! I dont DVR QVC programs because items can sell out so why bother watching a presentation on an item that may not even be available

@SeaMaiden

I use the FREE ON DEMAND service my cable company offers, and it doesnt require a separate DVR device to watch shows I've missed. But to tell you the truth there is not much "dontmiss" TV these days............
