I've been toying around with a PVR/DVR system back in SA (MythTV, etc), as there's very little in this country. Don't like the idea of having to b in front of ur telly @ a particular time / 4am, otherwise you miss the next episode of u'r series, or having 2 sit through ad's for 'feminine products'/promo for some crackpot
I think there might be legislative restrictions on 'time-shifting' broadcast...
Yea...whatever...
