After a couple months of having no cable/satellite television access, we finally got our DishNetwork service installed again. This time, in addition to TV Japan, we got a DVR receiver. For those of you who don’t know, the DVR is a Digital Video Recorder that uses a hard drive to store shows digitally, which you can then playback at any time. My friend Mikey has been enjoying his TiVo for a while now, and Ryan has his DVR thru TimeWarner, and both of them seem to love it. So, Mariko and I decided to pay the extra money and get a DVR for ourselves. Let me tell you, it is awesome! It’s so easy to record shows, and set up “Timers” that will automatically record episodes of your favorite programs. Right now I have it set up to record Baseball Tonight, Inaiinai-ba! and Okaasan to Ishoo on TV Japan for Bay and Koa.
