Take the DVR!
DH has had one thru the cable company for gosh I am not sure a year? He is in love with it!
I rarely watch tv, and not on his tv at all.
DVR can pause live tv and replay and he says he'd never live without it now.

I love my dvr!
Can record programs when I'm traveling.
Mine is thru my cable company.
Someone calls you right in the middle of a program and you can hit PAUSE!

Lakeguy, Oh, it's way more than I need, but it seemed rare and interesting, plus it was very close to my Dad's residence so no shipping hassles. I'll probably play with it for a year on my sub-acre, then hand it over to my Dad to use on his 8 acres when I get that urge to clear out the shed (to make room for some more mostly useless green equipment scavenged on eBay). The way I see it I'm 32, in my first home. I won't be here forever. Some day I'll have a larger lawn and more appropriate use for my gas-powered sprayer, 3.5 cu ft spreader, 55cc chainsaw... Still flying the Ospreys; loving every minute. I'll be wrapping up my time as an instructor and heading down the street to a deploying squadron later this year. Three years since I've been to the desert on a horse with no name.

I have been growing mine from seed this year but have not yet had any sign of flowers although the plants are now quite big and woody - at least 120cm tall with a 100cm spread. If there is no sign of blooms, I will take cuttings as they should be a lot easier to overwinter. They germinated really easily with quite large cotyledons, after about 3 weeks and grew on all summer. I got seeds from chiltern seeds, UK. If they are like brugs, I expect the cuttings to strike quickly and easily in Jiffy 7s.

Many thanks! That does help to give me some idea as to the time period--and as to the possible composition too, since I know nothing about metals.

You will still need a DVD player if you want to play DVDs, but I heartily recommend getting a DVR - it will saves you many hours that you currently waste watching commercials or watching something else until your show comes on.
One of the best features is PAUSE. THe phone rings? Gotta get a snack? Potty break? Just use pause!
Also - REWIND. Someone came in at the crucial time? You got distracted by a really informative KT post? Just use rewind!
(Can you tell I love my DVR?)

Can you save a program/show from the DVR to a DVD?

Nope, you can record with a DVR but you need a burner to put on DVD's. Spicey is right you still need a DVD to watch DVD's. So there is the biggest pro/con right there. DO you watch many?
