You're Watching Less TV

Posted by timothy on from the my-gosh-it's-full-of-stars dept.

NickFusion writes "With a plethora of online games, chat, IM, email and, well, Slashdot, who's got time to watch television? Evidently, not men ages 18-34. The NY Times (free reg, etc) takes a look at the issue and comes to conclusions that will shock, I say shock, the average Slashdot reader. Meanwhile, Fox Broadcasting Corp. is calling for a recount. Disclosure: I'm quoted in the NY Times article, and so is one Rob Malda. Mom will be so proud!"

    What software do you use to burn your svcd's and what settings do you use? I tried to burn one the other week with some software I bought by ULead and it won't play in my DVD player. There were tons of options for the format and all- I just don't relish trying them all out trying to find the right combination.

    Are there any DVRs (besides building your own) that don't require a subscription?

    I'd seriously just like to use one like a VCR. I know the great thing about the service is the "predictive" recording, but I'd really just like to be able to record at a fixed time for a fixed duration. $300 for a Tivo isn't that bad until you add in the subscription, IMO.

    El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
    Jefe: Yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora.
    El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?

    "the TiVo always has at least a dozen STTNG, Buffy, Simpsons, Futurama, or Family Guy episodes sitting around to peruse."

    Hey, if you watch Buffy, please start watching "Angel," the critically acclaimed spin-off. WB Network will be monitoring the ratings when the show returns for its "final" 6 episodes in April since there is so much pressure from the fans and in the media for them to reverse the cancellation.
