Who holds the remote control?
I have a DVR built into the receiver for my Canadian satellite dish. It's fantastic. I love being able to record Canadian football games and to do my own instant-replays when I see something great.Tonight I'm home alone - Jodie's out shopping in San Francisco. When I got home, I immediately collapsed on the couch to veg out in front of the TV. But when I turned it on, I discovered that one of Jodie's shows is being recorded. And since our set-top-box only has a single tuner, I can't really watch anything else.
It's like the TiVo* lets her hold the remote control, even when she's gone!
