How much does a DVR cost?

[knitty]

I'm nearing the end of what streaming Netflix has to offer, and we could get cable for $3 less per month. But I don't do ads. Can you get a DVR that cuts the ads out? Do you still have to subscribe to use a DVR?

You have to fast forward thru commercials

hold up.

you're a dude?

We got ours free from directv via a promo.

Dish Network has their new DVR "The Hopper" which cuts out the ads automatically. I believe they are the only ones that have that (and they are getting sued by the networks).

I'm just congenitally unable to give a simple answer to a silly question. Besides, do you think a man could do passive aggressive this well? It's pretty funny how many people take it at face value, though.

Bugger, I don't want to have to fast forward through, and the deal is through our Internet provider, not Dish. I'm even pissed off that Hulu has made their site unstable through Firefox, so I can't use Adblock on them. Thanks for the info.

Oh, fuck. It was a simple question based on the info you chose to show on your profile. All you had to say was "no, I was too lazy to push a button, I'm not a dude" and be done with it.

What the fuck? What the fuck is your problem, bitch? I gave you a simple answer to simple fucking question, or are you too stupid to comprehend words of more than one syllable? Loser.

whoa. WTF just happened? You didn't give a simple answer at all - you gave some verbose mumbo jumbo answer and Wan called you on it and you freaked :/

Who pissed in your cereal this morning?

I was here. Awesome thread.

I think the best part is I remember in another thread people talking about knitty being male and how that would explain so much. No one was cussed at there.

I never expected this post to take such a turn.

I'm not sure what promted that response Knitty. Wan certainly didn't deserve to be called names.

Most cable companies require you to pay a monthly fee for the DVR you get through them.

You could buy your own tivo, though.

Again, you would have to fast forward the commercials. My DVR has a "jump ahead" button that automatically skips forward 15 seconds. I use that on the commercials to get close enough.

I really need to stop coming into this thread. I have tears in my eyes every time I open it. Classic.

I feel bad, because I may have provoked her (him? it?) further. Sorry, Wan! I didn't see that coming.
