That's probably really interesting, but I couldn't get past the 32nd word.

This post cracked me up! I know that I have a weird sense of humour, but you can be spectacularly funny. I can't look at a grand piano without laughing, now, either.

Damn this is a good blog. Keep it coming.

That was excellent! Do more of these!

This seems a bit weird from my perspective in the UK. I pay no monthly fee, and my DVR gets all the program data (up to a few weeks in advance) from the digital TV signal. I know some people in the UK who do use a TiVo, paying a monthly subscription, but it seems a bit mad if you ask me.

It is in the TV stations' own interests to make this information available. If there was an established database to which stations submitted their listings (perhaps for a fee covering costs), and from which customers' DVRs freely downloaded information, then non-participating stations would lose out, since customers would be less likely to watch their programs.

Of course, TV stations hate DVRs anyway, because nobody with a DVR watches the ads!
