We have a DirecTivo which came with a 40GB drive, and I added a 120GB to it. I forget how much time this gives us but it's a lot.

Believe it or not, there are rarely more than 2 or 3 shows that don't have the yellow or green bullet beside them. Most of the space is green-lighted stuff (this means thatTivo will not delete it no matter how old it gets) that Mrs. Dallas hasn't gotten around to watching yet. The rest is kiddie shows. I deleted all my recorded programs and wish lists a while back in a fit of pique and found out I didn't miss them. Now I'm mostly on DVDs, of which I have a backlog. (Right now I need to re-watch Fellowship of the Ring, in preparation for the Two Towers Extended Edition release next week.)

There's just not that much on I'm interested in. NOTHING on the networks. Daria is gone (except chopped up versions on Noggin). Taildaters used to be a guilty pleasure, but it's gone. I used to check out documentaries on ancient Egypt or on Astronomy, but they mostly make me snooze now.
